What is Anysearchmanager?
Anysearchmanager operates as a typical browser hijacker by altering browser’s settings without user permission. The first thing you’ll notice is the new homepage – http://search.anysearchmanager.com/. From now on, all your search results will divert through the Anysearchmanager site which in turn, displays only affiliate links. That’s why you shouldn’t trust the results provided by the hijacker. Also, there is a high risk to end up on malware-laden websites by accidentally clicking on bogus link. To protect itself from removal, Anysearchmanager installs related files which pose a challenge for users who want to get rid of this hijacker easily. The best way to solve the problem is to use Norton Antivirus that can remove Anysearchmanager automatically in just a few clicks.
