Qword.com Removal Tips
Qword.com is a search engine that will appear on your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers without permission. It is not surprising that it does not need your permission to make all those changes because Qword.com is known to be a browser hijacker.
This browser hijacker has probably entered your system because you surf the web carelessly, tend to download and install programs from various third-party web pages, and do not even have any security tool installed on your PC. If you have, it means that it is outdated and completely unreliable. We highly recommend that you remove Qword.com from the system and set another homepage and search provider because Qword.com is not reliable and, in fact, its presence might result in the entrance of dangerous malicious applications.

Qword.com search engine will not only set itself as your homepage and search engine. Research has shown that you will even be provided with sponsored content if you use this search engine. To be more specific, all kinds of commercial advertisements will be placed among search results and you will click on them. After doing that, you might end up on corrupted web pages. Of course, this is one of those reasons why it is important to uninstall Qword.com in a short while, but this is definitely not the only suspicious activity this search engine is going to do. It has been also noticed that Qword.com will collect information about you by tracking cookies. Qword.com is interested in the web pages visited, ads clicked on, search terms, and other details associated with your activities on the web. Specialists say that this collected information might be even sold to third-parties. As you can see, Qword.com is not as innocent as it seems to be at first sight, so you have to delete Qword.com as soon as you can.
How did Qword.com appear on my browsers?
There is no doubt that this search engine has appeared on your browsers because you have installed some kind of free program from a third-party web page recently. Yes, browser hijackers tend to attach themselves to legitimate programs and enter systems in such bundles. In some cases, users have an option to decline or agree with the changes; however, they do not notice this information as they do not read the information provided in the setup wizards carefully. Be cautious in the future because plenty of other programs use the same method to slither onto computers.
