I wrote this article to help you remove Blasearch.com. This Blasearch.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Blasearch.com is an alternative search engine. The website promises to make the browsing sessions more effective by enhancing the search results. The developers of the platform explain that they have specialized in desktop applications and extensions. This is how the efficiency of the Blasearch.com platform is raised. In itself, the website does not have a lot of functions or options. If you are looking for a better search provider, you may come across Blasearch.com. It is our duty to warn you that this website has a poor security status. Research has shown that Blasearch.com is connected to a browser hijacker. The clandestine program will exploit your system’s resources. It will perform unauthorized tasks which pose all kinds of security threats.

The first intervention of the hijacker is to reset the homepage and default search engine. It will make Blasearch.com the default website for both purposes. You will discover that these settings cannot be altered. There is a reason for this. The hijacker uses the domain as a gateway to the web browser. The insidious program needs the Blasearch.com website to have the privileges of a homepage and default search provider. This is how the domain assists the hijacker. Using Blasearch.com to conduct your searches will give you phony results. One of the functions of the rogue tool is to support third party content.

The sponsored results are risky. The owners of the Blasearch.com hijacker support the content of all paying parties without running it through a security check. The fake search results could lead you to corrupted websites and cause you to contact malware. The owners of Blasearch.com have published disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability statements to avert legal problems. The registrant behind the website is a New York, NY company named BlaSearch Ltd. The copyright agent for the entity is called Convertor Ltd. It should be noted that its offices are in the same location.

The people behind the Blasearch.com hijacker have taken the necessary precautions to avoid having legal problems with computer users. They need to take measures because the shady program could cause people to experience security issues. We already touched on the risk around the bogus search results. The same threat comes from another task the Blasearch.com hijacker conducts. The furtive program displays advertisements. They promote offers for various items, like clothes, technological devices, furniture, accessories, sports gear, gardening equipment, decorations, toys, and others. The advertisements contain embedded links to unconfirmed websites. The ads appear in different shapes and formats. The two main categories are pop-ups and pop-unders. The latter have many variations, including contextual, interstitial, floating, transitional, and inline windows.

The Blasearch.com hijacker also has tracking capabilities. The nefarious program monitors people’s browsing sessions and records the information they enter into their web browser. It can obtain your history, keystrokes, tracking cookies, IP address, email, telephone number, geographic location, user names, passwords, financial details, and other input you have entered into your online accounts. The owners of the Blasearch.com hijacker sell the gathered information on dark markets without asking people for permission or notifying them.

There are a couple of ways to contact the Blasearch.com hijacker. The main distribution technique is called bundling. It involves using another program as a host. The Blasearch.com hijacker can travel with a pirated utility, a piece of freeware or shareware. The secluded program will be added with the download client as an extra tool. The option will be listed in the terms and conditions and ticked per default. You have to find where it is mentioned and deselect it. Reading through the end user license agreement (EULA) may sound too meticulous, but it is by no means redundant.

The other propagation vector the Blasearch.com hijacker uses is spam emails. The covert tool hides behind attachments from fake messages and notifications. The sender will talk about a topic which would acquire your attention, like a delivery package, an invoice, a bill, a fine, a bank statement, or another important event. He will point to the attached file and tell you it is an important document. Before opening an attachment, you should check if the person has used an official email account to contact you. In many cases, spammers register accounts which resemble the official contacts of the entity they have chosen to misrepresent.
