If you have discovered the website set as your default home page and search engine, it is likely that you have downloaded a program which was used to distribute the application. In most cases, computer users are asked if they want to change their home page/search engine settings, which is why it possible that you have been informed about these changes as well.

According to the Pageset.com Privacy Policy, the search engine uses cookies which do not collect personally identifiable information. This is good news; however, we are more worried about the advertisements which are presented whenever you use the suspicious search engine. As research shows, advertisement links take over half of all search results. Even though some of these search-related adverts are useful and reliable, others could have nothing to do with your search queries, and could even initiate the installation of third-party web cookies. There is no guarantee that these would not be used for private data collection. Therefore, you should be extremely careful if you decide to continue using the search engine.
