Misconception about Default-search.net
Default-search.net Is Not Virus
As a matter of fact, default-search.net is a browser hijacker, or one can simply take it as a traffic exchanging site since its frequent hijacking is to intercept traffic and re-allocate the traffic to its partners’ sites or the sites made by the same creator. This is the exact reason why anti-virus programs are not able to take down default-search.net.
The industry tends to call default-search.net as PUP (potentially unwanted program) as such items have been found by security companies to be capitalized by infections to execute evil deeds (more information will be provided below).
