The suspicious search engine provides such search tools as Web, Images, Videos, Maps, News, Shopping, Translation, Recipes and Finance. Additionally, it presents a number of box advertisements which are meant to lead you to Facebook, Free Games (e.g. antastigames.com), Free Music (e.g. music.torchbrowser.com) and YouTube. We do not recommend that you click on these advertisements or download free music from the suspicious website shareaza.com. Just like the search tool, this website has been developed by Bandoo Media Inc. Some of our readers might recognize the company because of Searchnu.com, Bandoo Toolbar, and other suspicious browser tools.

Bandoo programs are well known for their questionable relations to third-party advertisers. It is clear that the Search.shareazaweb.net search engine has been developed to promote third-party products as well. If you try to use the search engine you will be immediately routed to search.ask.com. We do not recommend that you utilize this search tool for any web searches because it is not trustworthy. As you may have noticed already, the application provides sponsored search results, and so it would be best to remove or replace it with a more reliable search application.
