What Is Qip.ng?
If your searches from browsers’ address bar/search bar are redirected to https://qip.ng/?q=[search-query], and you didn’t set it as your default search engine, then you likely have a browser hijacker on your computer. Browser hijackers usually come in the form of browser extensions that can be downloaded by users themselves or be installed without users’ explicit permission. Hijackers change browser’s default search engine, homepage and similar setting to direct more traffic to specific search engines, boosting ad revenue for those. You may follow this step-by-step guide to uninstall the browser hijacker and remove Qip.ng from your browser.
