Hello. I wanted to ask why:
1. Search.dashingpool.com replaced my homepage without asking me first?
2. Why it delivers deceptive search results? I mean, once you click on them, they open completely different websites than it was originally was supposed to open??
Why does Search.dashingpool.com show such suspicious search results?

Thank you for your question regarding Search.dashingpool.com. This website has replaced your homepage because you have probably installed Search.dashingpool.com browser hijacker without noticing it. It is a PUP (potentially unwanted program), which is spread via software bundles. To avoid installing such PUPs, you must know one important detail about bundled software - if you accidentally download such software pack, you can refuse to install optional applications that may be added to your preferred program via Advanced or Custom installation option.
Search.dashingpool.com virus provides a bogus search engine, which delivers inaccurate search outcomes. It makes computer users visit predetermined web sources by force by inserting misleading hyperlinks to the search outcomes. Therefore, clicking on such modified search outcomes results in Search.dashingpool.com virus redirects to suspicious third-party websites. The developers of Search.dashingpool.com virus gain pay-per-click revenue by promoting affiliate marketing in such way.
