What is Boostersearch.com

Boostersearch.com is a browser-hijacking application that comes under the guise of a search engine. The main downside of this search domain is that it shows inaccurate results to make users visit certain websites. The browser hijacker usually comes with freeware or pirated software that the user can download from questionable sources. The optional BoosterSearch is included by default so the user needs to decline it manually. In addition to fake search results, it might track the user’s browsing activity and transfer all collected data to third-parties. In this article, you may find useful tips on how to completely remove BoosterSearch from Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, IE, and Edge web-browsers.
