What is Search.bitcro.com?
If you see the Search.bitcro.com search engine in the place of your homepage, there is no doubt that you have installed the Start extension from the Chrome Web Store. Of course, there is a possibility that you have agreed to the installation of this software during the installation of some kind of other legitimate program which you have downloaded from a third-party web page. It is not really important how you got Search.bitcro.com; we want to focus more on its removal. At first sight, Search.bitcro.com might look like a useful search engine because it allows users to search for information, and they might even access such websites as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Gmail, and Wikipedia straight from its startup page. This feature is really useful; however, it is still risky to keep Search.bitcro.com, so we suggest getting rid of it as soon as possible.
How does Search.bitcro.com work?
We do not like Search.bitcro.com for one simple reason: It is capable of providing users with various third-party ads and sponsored links, and these links might lead you to corrupted web pages. As you can see, the possibility of infecting your system with malware by keeping Search.bitcro.com is rather high. What’s more, there is a possibility that all your search queries, the activities you perform on the web, and other details will be recorded if you use Search.bitcro.com search engine on a daily basis. Unfortunately, Search.bitcro.com will not only record anonymous data, but it might also gather “sensitive confident information,” as is stated in its Privacy Policy. As you can see, you might not only infect your system with malware, but you might also reveal your personal information. Therefore, we are sure that it would be better to get rid of Search.bitcro.com as soon as possible and then set another search engine.
As we have already informed you, Search.bitcro.com has been set as your homepage if you have installed the Start extension. Of course, it might have entered your system without permission, too, because it is spread via bundled malicious installers. Other browser hijackers might do that, too, in the future, so it is very important to be ready for such an attack and protect your system. In our opinion, you can easily protect your PC from harm by installing a security tool. Our security specialists also recommend that you install new programs with great care, i.e., select the Advanced installation option. This will enable you to deselect unwanted programs and thus not install them on your system. For the sake of your system’s safety, we suggest that you download and install a security tool on your system.
