    HDSportSearchs is a browser hijacker. HDSportSearchs browser hijacker attempts to redirect the Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browser to feed.hdsportsearchs.com and displays advertisements.

    HDSportSearchs is usually recommended on the internet as a helpful new tab or homepage by get.HDSportSearchs.com advertisements.

    get.HDSportSearchs.com

    However, in reality, HDSportSearchs is a browser hijacker that collects all kinds of browsing data from your browser settings.

    HDSportSearchs adware

    The web browsing data collected by the HDSportSearchs adware is used for advertising purposes. The browsing data is sold to advertising networks. Because HDSportSearchs gathers browsing data from your browser, HDSportSearchs is also classified as (PUP) Potentially Unwanted Program.

    HDSportSearchs browser extension will install itself in the Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Edge browser. No major browser developer yet notices this browser hijacker as dangerous.

    If your home page or new tab has changed to feed.hdsportsearchs.com and the HDSportSearchs browser extension has been installed, remove the HDSportSearchs extension as soon as possible using this HDSportSearchs removal instruction.
