Is myallsearch.com legit or a scam?
Privacy search engine with 20-year-old domain but repeated reports of unwanted browser hijacking via software bundles.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Intelligence
The domain myallsearch.com has existed since 2006 and carries a valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services. Our antivirus network flagged it once via CRDF while 91 other engines returned clean. The page itself loads a generic search interface with no login forms or obvious credential harvesting. Evidence from multiple independent sources shows consistent user complaints about homepage hijacking after installing bundled software. PCRisk published a removal guide classifying it as a fake search engine promoted through deceptive installers. Forum posts on SuperUser, Tom's Guide, Microsoft Q&A, and SourceForge describe the same pattern of unwanted installation and removal difficulty. The combination of legitimate infrastructure with documented hijacker behaviour places the site in the suspicious category.
