One of the things we would like to discuss first is how Awesome Sports Search could appear on your system. As mentioned earlier, users could download it from the Chrome Web Store page as well as the add-on’s official site. However, potentially unwanted programs are often spread through bundled software installers, pop-up ads, and sources alike. Thus, it is possible that this extension could be distributed through such sources too.

Usually, we recommend users who wish to avoid applications like potentially unwanted programs to keep away from file-sharing sites that offer unknown freeware or pirated software. Also, it is essential to install a reliable security tool that could warn you about doubtful tools as well as pay attention during installation. If you can, you should always pick advanced installation settings as they may reveal bundled suggestions that you might be able to deselect.

Furthermore, one of the first things that caught our attention about the extension was its description. On the Chrome Web Store page, it says that Awesome Sports Search “makes Yahoo! your default search engine.” In reality, the application might change your default search engine with sport.awesomesearch.net. The potentially unwanted program’s search engine ought to redirect you to the Yahoo search engine, but there is a chance it could be modified. It means the add-on might influence what kind of ads would be displayed next to the search results.

Another thing you ought to know about Awesome Sports Search is that it might gather information about your browsing habits as well as your IP address. According to the extension’s Privacy Policy, the software allows third parties to collect information too, although it is said that data can be gathered only within its “site or service.” Plus, the document states that third parties might be allowed to display “advertisements and/or personalized content.” If you do not like the idea that this potentially unwanted program and its third-party partners could gather information about you and show you ads, you may want to get rid of it.

If you decide you do not want to keep Awesome Sports Search on your Google Chrome browser, we can help you eliminate it.
