Wehave inspected qimp.net and determined that it is a questionable search engine. It is worth noting that search engines like qimp.net are often promoted through browser hijacking (extensions known as browser hijackers). Users should avoid search engines promoted through such methods.

In most cases, browser hijackers are designed to replace the default search engine, homepage, and (or) new tab page with a fake or unreliable one. Thus, when users open a browser or a new tab and enter search queries, they land on a specific search engine. It is worth noting that fake search engines usually redirect users to other (reliable or unreliable) search engines.

Since qimp.net is promoted using dubious methods, we classified it as a questionable search engine. Questionable search engines may display unreliable or malicious advertisements and search results. Users could be redirected to phishing sites, pages hosting malicious content, or other shady sites, compromising their online security.

Also, search engines like qimp.net often track user activity, collecting information such as search queries, browsing history, IP addresses, etc. This data can be sold to third parties or misused in other ways, posing a risk to user privacy. Sometimes, shady search engines can be capable of accessing sensitive data like passwords.

Additionally, these search engines can be difficult to remove, as they might employ techniques to resist elimination and reappear after being removed. The same applies to browser hijackers (extensions promoting such search engines). Overall, it is advisable not to trust qimp.net and extensions or apps promoting questionable search engines.

In conclusion, dubious search engines can cause issues related to online privacy and security. They are often distributed through deceptive methods, can be difficult to remove, and disrupt the user experience. Given these concerns, users should avoid using suspicious search engines and rely on reputable search engines, like google.com, bing.com, or others.

In most cases, users download and install/add browser hijackers via software bundles (during installations of other programs). It happens when users do not reject optional installations (do not change the settings provided in installers). Typically, browser hijackers and other extensions or apps of this kind are bundled with free or questionable software.

Additionally, browser hijackers can infiltrate browsers via deceptive advertisements and pop-ups on dubious sites, ads displayed by adware, notifications from shady pages, third-party app stores, downloads from P2P networks, unofficial websites, and similar channels.

Always download software and applications from official websites or authorized app stores, and avoid downloading apps with no or negative reviews. During software installation, choose custom or advanced settings instead of the default ones and deselect unwanted apps/offers. Do not click on ads or pop-ups presented on questionable web pages, and do not allow such sites to send notifications.

Regularly update your operating system, web browser, and other installed software. Install reputable antivirus and (or) anti-malware software and regularly scan your computer for threats, such as browser hijackers. If your computer is already infected with browser hijackers, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Right-click on the Start icon, select Apps and Features. In the opened window search for the application you want to uninstall, after locating it, click on the three vertical dots and select Uninstall.

After uninstalling the potentially unwanted applications (which cause browser redirects to the qimp.net website), scan your computer for any remaining unwanted components. To scan your computer, use recommended malware removal software.

To reset your homepage, click the Firefox menu (at the top right corner of the main window), then select "Settings", in the opened window disable malicious extension (if present), remove hxxp://qimp.net and enter your preferred domain, which will open each time you start Mozilla Firefox.

To change your default search engine in Microsoft Edge: Click the Edge menu icon (at the top right corner of Microsoft Edge), select "Privacy and services", scroll to bottom of the page and select "Address bar". In the "Search engines used in address bar" section look for the name of the unwanted Internet search engine, when located click the "Disable" button near it. Alternatively you can click on "Manage search engines", in the opened menu look for unwanted Internet search engine. Click on the puzzle icon near it and select "Disable".

If you continue to have problems with removal of the qimp.net browser hijacker, reset your Microsoft Edge browser settings. Click the Edge menu icon (at the top right corner of Microsoft Edge) and select Settings.

Select Restore settings to their default values. In the opened window, confirm that you wish to reset Microsoft Edge settings to default by clicking the Reset button.

A browser hijacker is a type of adware infection that modifies Internet browser settings by assigning the homepage and default Internet search engine settings to some other (unwanted) website URL. Commonly, this type of adware infiltrates operating systems through free software downloads. If your download is managed by a download client, ensure that you decline offers to install advertised toolbars or applications that seek to change your homepage and default Internet search engine settings.
