NewVideoSearch Removal Guide

NewVideoSearch is a browser extension that promises “easy access to search, images, videos and news.” Thus, if it is difficult for you to access such content, you might think that this extension could be handy to you. However, before clicking the download button, we recommend learning more about it as reading an application’s description is never enough. Our researchers have tested this plugin, so if you read our full report, you can learn how the application works, where it might come from, and how it could be erased. If you are mostly interested in its deletion, you may want to check the instructions placed below the article. They explain what to do to remove NewVideoSearch manually. If you have any questions about the application's deletion or the plugin itself, do not hesitate to leave us a comment at the end of this page.

Users could encounter NewVideoSearch on the Chrome Web Store page, at least, at the moment of writing. Our researchers also say that the extension falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs, which means it could be spread in the same ways as the other similar applications. Such tools often travel with bundled installers that could be available on file-sharing websites. What’s more, the potentially unwanted program could be spread through ads and pop-ups that could lead to its official website called portal.newvideo-search.com. One way or the other, if you want to stay away from similar software, you should download new tools only from legitimate sources and only after finding out that they are reliable and safe to use. In other words, you should take your time while getting new programs instead of installing them hastily without making sure that they are worthy of your trust and attention.

NewVideoSearch falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs because it might have undesirable qualities. For example, the application could change users’ default preferences. To be more precise, it might replace the default search engine with a search website known as feed.newvideo-search.com. It would seem this is how the tool provides “easy access to search, images,” and content alike. However, is it not easier to access such content by typing needed keywords directly into your browser’s address bar or going directly to reputable search engines like Yahoo or Google instead of installing a third-party tool that provides a different search website? Moreover, our researchers say that the potentially unwanted program’s search website might redirect users to a modified version of the yahoo search engine. As a result, it might seem like you are searching through Yahoo, but the displayed results could contain ads from NewVideoSearch’s third-party partners.

Why do we believe it to be possible? That is because the tool’s Privacy Policy says that it may gather and share user data with third parties to “Recommend content based on your preferences.” Recommend content could mean advertise things that you might find interesting, or, in other words, show tailored ads. Such behavior could also irritate users and cause the extension to be classified as a potentially unwanted program. If you hate the idea that NewVideoSearch could change your default search engine and show tailored ads or do not find it as useful as it is described to be, you could erase it. One way to get rid of it is to follow the deletion instructions located below. They can tell you how to erase NewVideoSearch from your Google Chrome. The second option is to perform a full system scan and then click the provided removal button to eliminate all identified items.
