Qsearch.pw is a type of adware that typically infects computers and web browsers by being bundled with other software that users download from the internet. Once installed, Qsearch.pw will start displaying intrusive and unwanted advertisements in the form of pop-ups, banners, and sponsored links. These ads are often designed to redirect users to specific websites in order to generate revenue for the adware creators.
Qsearch.pw can also track users’ browsing activities and collect personal information such as browsing history, search queries, and IP addresses. This data is then used to display targeted ads to users, making them more likely to click on them. In addition, Qsearch.pw may also modify browser settings, such as the default search engine and homepage, without the user’s consent. This can make it difficult for users to revert back to their original settings and remove the adware from their system.
