V9.com is a browser hijacker which is also categorized as Ad-ware, PUP. Once you got it installed into your computer, your homepage will be changed to www.v9.com. As a sneaky browser hijacker, V9.com attacks almost all browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. All the useful settings on all your browsers will be taken over as soon as your computer is infected by V9.com. Besides homepage, your default search engine will be changed to V9 search, so the search results are provided by V9.com.
V9.com gets revenue from your clicks on the advertisements display in front of you when you search into www.v9.com. That’s why it changes browser default settings including search engine, search provider, URL redirection, DNS redirection, host file redirection and hijacked Ads spaces on all web pages. You might say any search engine would display ads, so changing search engine is no big deal. www.v9.com is not a safe search engine for your computer because it can take your search terms when you use it and then it uses your search behavior on you to show the sponsored advertisements as per you search terms. Without further ado, it uses your search terms everywhere.
If you are still experiencing issues with the search.v9.com redirect in Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, you need to reset your browser to its default settings.
