How to stop the Getsearchredirecting Browser Hijacker
Getsearchredirecting is the name of a domain and the browser hijacker associated with it.
If you find that every search you make directly using your browser's address bar redirects you to the domain Getsearchredirecting dot com, you likely have the browser hijacker installed on your system.
Browser hijackers are a type of potentially unwanted application that can change your browser's settings, including the home page and default search engine, among others. This is done so that your search queries are always funneled through the domain of the browser hijacker first, before being fed into a real engine to return some results, as hijackers and fake search engines cannot provide their own results.
Similar browser hijackers can also collect info on your search queries and browsing habits, which makes them a potential privacy threat. The information collected can also be re-sold to third parties, usually ad networks.
Removing similar browser hijackers, usually in the form of browser extensions or add-ons, is your best bet, as you will be improving your browsing experience and your online privacy in the process of uninstalling them.
