What Is Search-startpage.com?

Search-startpage is a browser hijacker. Browser hijackers are considered potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) and can be installed either as programs or as browser add-ons, sometimes both at the same time. A browser hijacker changes browser settings – start page, new tab page, homepage, default search engine – so that the user is forced to visit a certain site repeatedly.
