Such programs as Search-NewTab, GreatSaver and Optimizer Pro have all been discovered to travel bundled with Websearch.pu-results.info. Even though you can acquire all of these programs individually, in some cases they all could be bundled together as well. If you have opened the browsers and discovered the unfamiliar search engine greeting you, it is recommended that you check if any unfamiliar browser add-ons have not been installed as well. You should perform this check if your browsers have been hijacked by Websearch.good-results.info, Websearch.searchere.info, and similar computer threats as well. These clandestine hijackers may appear as authentic search engines; however, in order to provide you with search results they will redirect you to google.com/search. Of course, Google Search is not the worst source to get redirected to; however, such activity is highly suspicious and you should be careful about redirections to other potentially unreliable sources.
