Searchdwebs Removal Guide

Do you know what Searchdwebs is?

If you are wondering why your new tab redirects you to websearch.searchdwebs.info, then it is probably, because you have been infected by a browser hijacker. Searchdwebs is an unwanted application that usually comes bundled with freeware programs. Users often download various applications from third party websites without even realizing that they can come with additional and potentially dangerous extensions and plugins. This browser hijacker exposes you to possible malware infections, so you need to remove Searchdwebs from your system right now.

Unlike other browser hijackers, Searchdwebs does not change your default home page. Instead, it infects your new tab. Every single time you open a new tab on your browser, it redirects you to websearch.searchdwebs.info. In a way this website is similar to websearch.searchrocket.info. It is not dangerous on its own, but if you take a closer look at Searchdwebs home page you will see that it displays third party advertisements. These advertisements could be the source of serious trouble, especially if you click them.
