Searchaize Removal Guide

Searchaize is a potentially unwanted program that is compatible with the Chrome browser. It works as a browser extension, and it says that it can improve your web search experience. Nevertheless, users often remain clueless as to how this application enters their systems. If you are one of those who didn’t plan to have this extension on-board, scroll down to the bottom of this description and remove Searchaize following the removal guidelines we have provided for you. When you are done, consider investing in a powerful antispyware tool that can protect your system from a variety of threats.

Although potentially unwanted programs tend to have official websites, users seldom enter these sites directly. Also, in the case of Searchaize, it is possible to find the extension at the Chrome Web Store. Yet, at the same time, it is highly doubtful whether users really add the app to their browser willingly. It is far more likely that Searchaize comes through pop-ups and redirects.

This happens when users visit websites that are full of third-party advertising. For instance, online video streaming sites or gaming websites could indulge in third-party advertising quite a lot. They need to survive somehow if most of the content they offer is free. Hence, sometimes clicking anywhere on such a site results in a pop-up or a redirect that opens a new tab on your browser. This redirect could open a website that displays some advertisement, but might also automatically offer you to add Searchaize to your browser.

Most of the time, you can just click the left button to avoid adding such extensions. But it is very often that users fail to read the pop-ups when they try to get rid of all new tabs, and they accidentally add Searchaize to their browsers.

If you didn’t read the pop-up that informed you about this extension, it’s about time you know that it requires certain permissions before it starts working on your browser. It needs to read your browsing history, and change your search settings to feed.searchaize.com. Since this extension is supposed to improve your web search experience, it’s not that surprising that it modifies your search settings. However, Searchaize doesn’t provide you with anything new. It merely redirects you to modified Yahoo! Search page. Yahoo! Search is often used by such applications to provide users with search results, so don’t be surprised to see this search engine.

The main security concern associated with Searchaize is the fact that might expose you to commercial content, and it could share the collected information with unreliable third parties. Although the extension cannot collect personal identifiable information, your web browsing habits could provide insight for marketers about the content they could promote to you. And while there is nothing illegal about that (many websites and programs indulge in such practice), Searchaize cannot really be held responsible for the third-party content that reaches you through it. In other words, the application might inadvertently expose you to corrupted websites, and if you are not careful, it could end in a serious cybersecurity issue.

Hence, when you deal with potentially unwanted program, the most important thing is to remove them as soon as possible. Luckily, it is easy to delete Searchaize from your browser. If you feel that there might be more unwanted apps on-board, you can always scan your computer with the SpyHunter free scanner.

To avoid such apps, you need to perform regular system scans with licensed antispyware tools, and avoid websites that could be involved in freeware distribution. Just don’t click anywhere when you enter a side that’s full of advertisements, and read carefully all the pop-ups you receive.
