Dosearches.com is not a reliable search engine, and it is most likely that it has been set as your home page or search provider without any of your knowledge. According to the recent research, the malicious infection has been designed to boost traffic to certain websites, which means that you should not expect any reliable search results from it. In fact, all searches are redirected to search.yahoo.com, which is why there is no point in using the tool altogether.

This may seem complicated but it should not stop you from getting dosearches.com removed from Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers.
