Do you know what Websearch.searchitup.info is?
There are hundreds of unreliable search engines that might appear in the place of your homepage and search provider. Websearch.searchitup.info is one of them; it belongs to the Websearch family and it often acts like a browser hijacker. It is called like that because it can make the unauthorized changes. By saying that, we mean that this search engine does not ask for a user’s permission to set itself itself as your default search engine and homepage. Websearch.searchitup.info is not only responsible for the unwanted changes, but it is also unreliable, so we suggest that you remove it as quickly as possible.

You should know that sponsored links and ads are unavoidable if you decide to keep Websearch.searchitup.info.

It is not so easy not to ignore all those links and ads because there is still a slight possibility that you will click on them accidentally one day. As can be seen, the best solution is to remove Websearch.searchitup.info entirely.
