searchitdown.com is considered a browser hijacker, due to this literal hijacking of your settings. The only goal of this search engine is to show you ads from its partners. These ads are not worthy of your trust. They are all fake, with nothing useful for you no matter what they say. All offers are false.

You got infected with searchitdown.com either by visiting a porn site, playing on a free games platform, or by clicking on an infected ad. Another probable infection source is downloading and installing a free tool whose install process included searchitdown.com but you didn’t notice because you didn’t take the time to read what was being included.
