What is Searchwebhub.com

Searchwebhub.com is a browser hijacker designed to replace standard browser search services with its own search system. The true goal of this operation is to examine your online activities and favorite websites. Searchwebhub records all site visits and search queries for commercial partners. Following then, the virus normally begins to introduce advertisements into your browser’s search results without your awareness. Yet, this is only one aspect of the problems associated with Searchwebhub.com. Locking browser settings and sharing personal information with third parties are more serious issues. We propose deleting Searchwebhub.com as soon as possible to avoid these measures. It will aid in the preservation of your online privacy.
