What is
Searchmyrequest.com?
Searchmyrequest.com is a website search engine
with lots of search results for things like debt consolidation,
refinancing, casinos, and more related searches generally seen in spam
emails. Most searches appear to be affiliate links that make the owner
of the site money through clickthroughs. It has a "search the web"
option that doesnt appear to care what you type in the box, it simply
shows another page of results from keywords that the site has in a
database. It takes over as your start page and appears to be
a variant of the CoolWebSearch
homepage hijacker as well. |
