If Bestsearch2016.com ever starts working, i.e. returns search results after you enter a search query, you still have to remove it if you wish to be safe. It is a must to do that because this questionable search engine displays the sponsored search results for users. In other words, you will see advertisements instead of reliable search results.

We suggest getting rid of Bestsearch2016.com not because it has a potential of redirecting users to bad websites. Researchers who have tested this search tool have also found out that it, most probably, will gather information about every user. We could not find its Privacy Policy document, so exact details it collects about users are unknown; however, specialists believe that it should not differ from other similar search results as well and thus gather non-personally identifiable information primarily (e.g. search queries, browsing history, advertisements clicked, websites opened, etc.) and technical information (IP address, version of Windows OS running on the infected computer, approximate location based on the location of Internet Service Provider, etc.). As you can see, details it collects should be non-personally identifiable; however, some of them might still contain personal facts, for example, search queries might contain personal details if you have ever submitted personal details about yourself into the search box of Bestsearch2016.com.
