Hi, I am using Search Swapper search engine. It seems to be useful, but I have noticed that sometimes Search swapper redirects me to ransom websites, I mean, I click on a search result and it opens a completely different website. What is this supposed to mean?

Search Swapper is an untrustworthy Chrome add-on, which replaces homepage and default new tab page with imp.searchswapper.com. Although it seems that this page allows the user to choose what search engine to use, it is just an untrustworthy site that alters search results with an intention to make the victim visit unreliable Internet sites, usually those that belong to its third-party partners. We recommend you to remove Search Swapper virus by scanning your computer system with a reputable anti-malware software.
