Is Your Browser Persistently Redirecting to Search Marquis? Here's Why
SHARE

Search Marquis is a browser extension that alleges to be a helpful tool that enhances the browsing quality of browsers like Chrome and Safari. But upon taking a closer look, Search Marquis is yet another questionable browser extension that aims to redirect users to dubious websites. The “Search Marquis” browser extension and its website searchmarquis.com is associated with browser hijackers, adware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). The developers who create and distribute such unwanted software do so to generate advertising revenue by displaying unwanted pop-ups, injecting ads directly into the browser, and diverting online visitors to websites that are heavy with advertisements and sponsored content. 

Often, users unknowingly download and install programs such as Search Marquis. Most unwanted software is usually distributed via bundles of free software, pirated or cracked software, torrent websites, and spam emails.

Once the “Search Marquis” browser extension is installed, it modifies web browser settings and may set searchmarquis.com as the default new tab page and default search engine without a user’s permission or knowledge. It also displays annoying advertisements and collects data such as your web searches, IP address, and sites visited.

Search Marquis redirect virus (also known as “searchmarquis.com redirect virus”) is not technically a virus. “Redirect virus” is a term commonly used to describe a browser hijacker’s ability to automatically redirect the browser to unfamiliar pages or misleading search results every time the user tries to do a web search. 

In most cases, questionable search engines like searchmarquis.com will display results generated by other search engines like bing.com. Before searchmarquis.com displays bing.com results, it will lead users through several intermediate domains such as searchbaron.com, searchnewworld.com and searchsnow.com. Another domain linked to Search Marquis called Mybrowser-search.com uses Google Custom Search API instead of returning its own results. The switch from searchmarquis.com, to a subsidiary domain like searchbaron.com and finally landing on bing.com is almost invisible and can only be seen briefly in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window.

How Do You Delete Search Marquis

If a browser hijacker has infected your computer and your browser is redirecting to searchmarquis.com, you may need to take the appropriate steps to undo the changes made to your browser. 

What to do? Here are some manual steps that may help to resolve the issue: Remove suspicious programs or browser extensions, especially programs you don’t recognize. Reset the web browser to default settings. Clear out your browser cache and the DNS cache. 

If the browser redirects persist, then it is advised to run a reputable anti-malware program to scan for, detect and remove browser hijackers, adware or potentially unwanted programs from your computer.
