SearchPage virus Removal Guide

If you think that your browsers are affected by SearchPage virus, it means that you have installed SearchPage Tab, a browser add-on which is available at browserpage.com. It can also be bundled with programs available on freeware websites. SearchPage Tab, or the so-called SearchPage virus, works on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox; it changes the homepage, the new tab, and the default search engine to searchpage.com, and we recommend that you restore your former settings.

SearchPage virus, or simply searchpage.com, monitors your browsing activities in order to improve the quality of the service and provide you with relevant advertisements. SearchPage Tab may use cookies and other tracking techniques to record your IP address, the type of the browsers, your browsing history and search terms.  The partners of the searchpage.com can also use their tracking utilities, and they are not monitored by SearchPage. The so-called SearchPage virus does not seek to reveal your identity, but there always is some risk that some personal details will become available to the browser hijacker. If you do not want to be monitored, remove SearchPage virus from your browsers as soon as you can.

You have probably noticed that SearchPage provides you with Yahoo search results, among which numerous sponsored links are presented. We recommend that you avoid clicking on those advertisements because some of them may have nothing in common with your search terms. Such ads are generated to drive more traffic to some websites and convert visitors to potential buyers of the services or products. However, you should keep in mind that paid advertisements that appear on the search result page may also be used by sly website owners that seek to spread scareware or computer infections.

Instead of struggling to avoid search results ads, start using a search engine which provides you with thoroughly filtered results, but first remove SearchPage virus from the system. Since manual removal may be insufficient, we recommend that you rely on a powerful spyware removal tool. Install SpyHunter if you want to be sure that SearchPage virus will be fully removed from the system, that is, no components of the unwanted application will be left within the system. Moreover, it will safeguard the system against more dangerous threats, including rogue anti-spyware program, keyloggers, worms, adware programs, and many other threats.
