Unfortunately, Safe-web.tk contains advertisements too. You will see them on the main page. Luckily, it should not show sponsored search results because it uses Google custom search engine; however, you still have to be careful with ads you see on the start page of Safe-web.tk. It is not advisable to click on any of them for one main reason – they might redirect to unreliable third-party web pages.

If you wish to put an end to this, delete Globasearch.com and set another homepage and search engine. This is the only way to stop redirections to Safe-web.tk.
