What Is Searchgate.org?
If your searches are getting redirected to Searchgate.org and then to Bing or Yahoo, and you haven’t set your browser’s search engine to Searchgate.org yourself, then there is a browser hijacker installed on your machine. A browser hijacker is a piece of software that can alter homepage, new tab page or search engine on browsers and stop users from altering those settings again. Alternatively, a hijacker may intercept users’ search queries and redirect those to promoted sites.
