      I've never heard of a search engine named questionbasic, which doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate search engine, when ever I see a list of search engines there's a lot of them out there I've never heard of.  When I Googled it, it came up blank.  Is it a regional search engine, or is it possibly a virus.

      No such website exists.   I believe you need to start a new discussion in the Computer viruses and spyware section.

        I would recommend not using the website, due to the fact that I don't think it exists, and could be a virus.
