Basic characteristics of these browser hijackers are changing of the default search engine to webssearches and home page to istart.webssearches.com. All of the three major browser may be infected, be it Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. Often, webssearches.com is accompanied by apps such as Quick Start or Suptab that appears in your Extensions category. The users are misguided by decent looking interface and brand names such as Facebook, Yahoo and Youtube. Eventhough the search engine in fact works, it may not be used for your everyday search queries. The search results may be incorporated with different advertisements. Some of them may link to sites of questionable content and authority.
