Tiktok-searches.com
The default search provider of your browser could have been changed to Tiktok-searches.com if you installed an extension named TikTokSearches. According to our research, this extension is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), and the recommendation is to remove it. Do you know what a PUP is? It is the kind of piece of software that is not useful and/or not reliable. Usually, it is an app or an extension that promises amazing services but ends up underdelivering. PUPs are also often working on two fronts, meaning that one kind of service is introduced to the potential user, and an entirely different service is activated after installation. ...
Groovorio.com
Do not assume that Groovorio.com is a useful search tool just because it looks normal and presents actual search results. Our team of researchers links this search tool to a known ad-supported app, Groovorio, and we recommend removing it from any affected browser. Of course, once you get rid of this undesirable extension, the suspicious search tool should be eliminated along with it. If you cannot wait to delete Groovorio.com from your browser, we have instructions ready below. If you would like to learn more about this search tool, you should continue reading. ...
Search.quicksearchtool.com
Search.quicksearchtool.com is the search engine that Quick Search Tool introduces to Google Chrome users. The application is advertised as a desirable search assistant that, allegedly, is a “useful tool” that enables searching via the browser’s address bar. You can use this feature with any trusted search provider, and so the extension is not actually all that useful. Nonetheless, Chrome users continue to install it. Why is that so? It is possible that aggressive advertising techniques are used to promote it. For example, the installer page could be opened in full-screen by ad servers, or it could be advertised when users complete the installation of a different extension. ...
Vil APP
Did you download Vil APP with a hope that it could enhance your web browsing experience? Perhaps you do not remember downloading it at all, or you installed it just because it came attached to something else? At the time of research, the extension was compatible with the Google Chrome, but it could no longer be acquired from the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vil-app/mgheloialdghfmmfnknhppkcncoglhlc). It also did not have an official download website. Due to this, the distribution of this potentially unwanted program (PUP) is still a mystery to us. ...
Search-Plus
Our research team says that Search-Plus is a browser hijacker. Thus, it means that this program modifies your browser’s settings without your permission. Some users might even think that Search-Plus is a useful search engine because it looks like one. However, if your browser’s settings get modified without your permission, you should not tolerate the program that does so. It is important to remove Search-Plus from your browser right now because the longer it stays there, the more trouble it might cause. To be 100% sure that you terminate all the unwanted applications, don’t hesitate to scan your computer with a reliable antispyware tool. ...
Search Pro
Search Pro is advertised as a tool that can provide users with “Quick Access to top trusted search results and daily search trends.” Our specialists say that the application might also hijack your browser by changing its homepage and default search engine and that it could show advertising content from different third parties. Therefore, the extension was classified as a browser hijacker. If you do not like how it works or its content, you could erase it. If you want to remove Search Pro manually, but do not know how to do it, you should look at our deletion instructions located below. ...
StreaminSearchs
StreaminSearchs is an extension that might be introduced to you as a superior search tool. Well, if that were the case, we would not identify it as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP, for short. PUPs are often identified as threats because they can put their users at some sort of risk. While some PUPs are known as threats because they are set up to trick users into paying money for the promoted services – which is the case with, for example, useless system optimizers – other PUPs are known as threats because they use their users for a monetary gain with nothing in return. ...
Flashit.xyz
Our research team says that Flashit.xyz is a browser hijacker. In some cases, it might be also considered a potentially unwanted program. It means that the application itself may not be inherently malicious, but it could also carry out certain modifications on your browser without your explicit consent. Therefore, it would be for the best to remove Flashit.xyz from your system today. Scroll down to the bottom of this description for the manual removal instructions. Don’t worry, it’s not hard to get rid of this intruder. Just stay calm and follow the steps one by one. ...
Quick Radio Search
Do you listen to radio via your web browser? If you do, you might think that Quick Radio Search is the tool for you. In reality, it is not as beneficial as it might appear to be at first, and while it might offer links to radio-related websites via its interface, you can add these links to your browser by bookmarking them. That might take some time, but you can personalize what links are shown, and you can avoid all security-related risks that this extension might bring with it. Since you have found this removal guide, we assume that you already have your reasons to get rid of this potentially unwanted program (PUP). ...
Get Speed Test Fast
Did you install Get Speed Test Fast purposefully, after researching the tool and deciding that it is worth a try? Or did you install it without thinking much about it, when it was attached to another desirable app or extension, or completely by accident? The latter is likely to be the case because if Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome users took their time to research this potentially unwanted program, they would know that it does not work that well and that trusting it is even risky. Have you installed this extension and used its speed tester already? ...
