DailyBestSearch(.)com – How Did I Get It?

You can get DailyBestSearch(.)com on your computer via a few methods. Usually, third-party installations are responsible for that. Bundled software and free programs, can put the hijacker on your computer. Setups for freeware apps can have additional components set as default installation. Various settings could be modified until you find out that the unwanted program is on your computer.

DailyBestSearch(.)com might use other methods to get its search engine pushed on your computer. One of the methods is through redirect advertisements on websites, such as banners, pop-ups or additional advertising content. The hijacker could also be spread with the help of suspicious websites hosting redirects. These websites could be partnered or affiliated with DailyBestSearch(.)com.

DailyBestSearch(.)com – What Does It Do?

DailyBestSearch(.)com is the primary domain for the browser hijacker named BestDaily Search. You can take a look at how the website looks like in the following screenshot:

The DailyBestSearch(.)com web page is composed of a search bar, a background picture, and a toolbar from where you can select for what kind of results to be shown. That page replaces the search engine of your browsers, in addition to the new tab setting, and home page. Some browser preferences might be modified as well, or an extension could be set.

If an application associated to DailyBestSearch(.)com is inside your computer, such as a browser add-on, for instance, then you can see more modifications made to all of your browsers. Applications like that could install on your PC with bundled software. Be it extensions, add-ons, plugins, or other apps, they can all generate advertisements and display third-party content or redirect you when you browse.

A probability exists that you could get redirected to other well-known search engines, too. Browser hijackers use this tactic, so you might get tricked and think you are using a reputable search engine.
