Search.info.com Removal Guide

Due to the abundance of fake search engines and browser hijackers sometimes even legitimate search providers may seem like suspicious computer infections. Sometimes search.info.com may be considered to be a potentially unwanted program, but that happens only when users accidentally add search.info.com to their browsers, and that does not happen often. After all, one needs to access search.info.com homepage to add the plug-ins, so unless you do it willingly it is hardly unlikely that the plug-in would be added to your browser in secret. Consequently, it is relatively easy to remove search.info.com from your browser as well.

Search.info.com is a metadata search engine that provides you with a list of search results from a number of popular search engines, including Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Yandex and others. What is more, search.info.com partners with other search providers so that it could provide you with custom shopping and product reviews. After all, the search engine does list “useful commercial data” as one of its selling points. Therefore, it is of no surprise that search.info.com also provides users with a list of search results on jobs, White and Yellow Pages, flights, hotels, tickets, maps, weather and directions.

What could be wrong with search.info.com, then? Well, the only thing that could cause any security issues applies to any other search engine – third parties. Search.info.com’s privacy policy states that:
