Do you know what Mysupersearch.net is?
Even though we tested Mysupersearch.net in our internal lab, we cannot say we noticed any qualities that would allow saying there is anything super about this search engine. On the contrary, it looks like an application with basic tools. It does not even have a unique engine to collect the results since Mysupersearch.net was noticed to use google.com to do this job. In other words, if you were expecting the tool would enhance your browsing you will most likely end up being disappointed as it is almost the same as browsing on Google. The difference is this suspicious search engine may influence the results by adding advertisements from its third-party partners. Such content could be potentially dangerous, but we will talk about this further in the text. For now, you should know that if you decide to eliminate this application, you can find a removal guide located below to help you in this task.
Firstly, it would be best to discuss the suspicious search engine’s possible distribution methods. The researchers learned that Mysupersearch.net is on the same server together with another unreliable search tool called Launchpage.org. For this reason, we believe it might be distributed through bundled software setup files or come as a redirect after clicking questionable pop-up ads. Either way, the application's appearance on the browser may suggest there could be other untrustworthy programs on the computer.
Installers downloaded from doubtful or malicious file-sharing web pages can be bundled with adware, browser hijackers, potentially unwanted programs, or even more dangerous threats and there might be a few suggestions on one setup wizard. Speaking about the mentioned redirection via unreliable pop-up ads, such content is quite often shown by another doubtful application that is already on the system. Thus, no matter how you came across Mysupersearch.net, it might be a good idea to check the PC and see if there is nothing else you may want to get rid of.
