It is clear that this search tool is unreliable, because it presents pop-up advertisements promoting unreliable services and installers. This browser hijacker can redirect you to webswitch.tk. The interface of this search engine is very similar to the interface of globasearch.com, which is why we believe that both of these search tools have been created by the same company. Of course, we believe that you should remove webswitch.tk and any search engines associated with it. Even though webswitch.tk supposedly provides the search results of Google, there is no reason why you should use a browser hijacker instead of google.com.
