Where does Search.searchtpg.com come from?

It is more likely that it has been set on your web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome) without your knowledge. Since it is not the first Polarity search tool specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have encountered, it is no longer a secret how they usually appear on users’ browsers. It has been observed that the majority of users find their browsers’ settings changed after installing new software from the web, so, according to our specialists, there is basically no doubt that Search.searchtpg.com is installed on users’ PCs together with software from filewon.com, filewin.com, malavida.es, and similar third-party pages. If you feel that the changes have been applied to your browsers without your knowledge, do not even consider keeping Search.searchtpg.com because there are much more trustworthy search tools available on the market, and you should use one of them instead of this Polarity search tool. We suggest that you remove it also if you have set it as your homepage willingly, which is not very likely.

What does Search.searchtpg.com do?
At first glance, Search.searchtpg.com looks like a trustworthy search tool. It has a search box, and it even allows users to access popular third-party pages with the click of a button. Because of this, it is not at all surprising that so many users decide to take no action regarding its appearance on their browsers. We do not think that keeping this page set on browsers is a very good idea because it is very likely that it will present users with untrustworthy search results. Speaking specifically, some of the search results returned by Search.searchtpg.com might be modified. They are not considered malicious, but they might redirect users to untrustworthy third-party pages, so it would be best not to click on them. Unfortunately, it is not very easy to avoid them because they do not differ much from normal search results. Consequently, we suggest that you remove Search.searchtpg.com completely as soon as possible. You should not let it stay also if you do not want it to track you and record some information about you. It has been found that it focuses on the collection of non-personally identifiable details primarily, but if you insert personal information in its search box, it will be recorded too together with other search queries.
