Searchvvay.com is known to be a browser hijacker even though it seems to be an ordinary search engine at first glance.

Even though Searchvvay.com looks like a fully reliable search tool, specialists say that it cannot be trusted because this search engine will not only show search results associated with the entered keyword, but will also provide you with advertisements and sponsored links. These ads and links are placed among the legitimate search results in order to make sure that users click on them. It is very likely that the company/cyber criminals that have developed Searchvvay.com get money for increasing the traffic rate of particular websites. As can be seen, Searchvvay.com has not been created for the benefit of users, so you should find another reliable search tool instead of it. Specialists suggest that you get rid of it also because these ads and links might redirect to untrustworthy websites containing malware too. Last but not least, there is also a small possibility that this unreliable search engine will gather information about users every day. There is only one way to ensure the safety of your privacy – to delete Searchvvay.com and set another search provider instead.
