Get Paid To Search HELP Required and Referals

Was on a website and it lists sites out there that pay you to use their search engines. However as silly as it sounds, i dont understand it at all. The sites listed on it were:

Homepage friends
Swagbucks
Wabba Dabba
Scour
Big Devil

1. Can you use all these search engines and earn?
2. Do you have to download anything to your computers?
3. Are they all genuine?
4. I think i read that you must download as your homepage, in that case you wouldnt be able to join them all?

Looking for advice on what is best to do and if there are any other sites. I will also gladly use your referals for your help

Thanks

    Only used Swagbucks - you can load the search engine as an option in Firefox, no need to download or install anything. I reckon the others will be the same.

    I too can only vouch for Swagbucks.

    1. Yes
    2. No. But you can use a totally harmless search plugin for your browser so you don't have to go over to the site every time to search, which makes it easy to win the swagbucks.
    3. Swagbucks at least is.
    4. You don't need to set SB as your homepage. But using the search plugin is the easiest way anyhow.

    More information (and my referral link) is on this thread:

    Homepagefriends is now calling itself Supportingfriends and lets you search and earn for charity.
    It has been this way since August 1st.
