Some users decide to do nothing about the presence of Search.hdesignyoursite.co because it looks legitimate and they use it to perform web searches, but we recommend the opposite, i.e. deleting it right away because it is far from being a reliable search tool. As has been noticed by our experienced malware researchers, it redirects all users' searches to Yahoo!, which is a legitimate search provider; however, search results might be modified along the way, so users might be provided with third-party links opening websites that do not contain a single piece of information related to the entered search query. Theoretically, some of these websites might even promote untrustworthy applications or try to push users into providing personal details. Never enter personal information on random websites because they might be sold on the black market. The same goes for downloading software from dubious websites.Search.hdesignyoursite.co Removal GuideSearch.hdesignyoursite.co screenshot

Suspicious search providers promoted by browser hijackers usually collect tons of information about users, and there is a huge possibility that Search.hdesignyoursite.co is no exception. Luckily, untrustworthy search providers are not serious malware, so they cannot access sensitive information, but they can surely record various non-personal details like users' clicks, websites visited, search queries entered, and a number of more technical details, including IP address, the Windows OS version the computer runs on, the type of the web browser used, and much more. Remove Search.hdesignyoursite.co from your browsers today to put an end to the automatic collection of information.

Even though Search.hdesignyoursite.co is a brand new hijacker, we cannot say anything new about the methods used to distribute it.

You could not protect your system against the browser hijacker this time, but we are sure no similar threats could enter your system if you keep security software installed on your computer and start installing programs more carefully. Users usually skip installation steps too quickly and thus agree with the installation of untrustworthy software.
