Search.classifiedlist.net is an untrustworthy search tool you might find set in the place of your default search tool and the New Tab page. Research has shown that it can apply changes on two browsers only: Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Of course, these two browsers could have been chosen on purpose. They are considered to be the most popular ones, so it is very likely that this browser hijacker is compatible with both of them just to reach as many as possible. Yes, many specialists say that Search.classifiedlist.net is nothing more than a typical browser hijacker even though it looks quite reliable at first glance. It has been put into this category because many users cannot explain why they see it on their browsers and thus believe that it is capable of entering computers secretly. If you are one of those computer users who have already encountered Search.classifiedlist.net, you should remove it to leave a place for a more reliable search engine. Specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com will tell you why it is worth getting rid of it in a detailed way further in this article. Read the provided information before you take any action.

Do not have high expectations for Play-bar-search.com because this search tool is unable to provide you with useful or reliable services. According to the analysts at Anti-Spyware-101.com, this search tool is most likely to be introduced to users along with a browser extension. Even on the home page of this provider, you can see the “ “”extension, powered by Imali Media” tag at the bottom. The space that should contain the name of the extension is empty, which means that it might not have been created yet. This tag also reveals that Imali Media has created the search tool, and this is not the first time we are mentioning this name in our articles. As a matter of fact, there is a ton of extensions and browser hijackers that were created by the company. Does that mean that the search tool we are discussing is also identified as a browser hijacker? Do we need to delete Play-bar-search.com? You can read this report to find out. Read more »

Additionalsearch.co.uk is a site that has an interface of a search engine. The search box in the middle indicates that search results can be produced. Also, the site provides a number of links that all represent different bbc.co.uk articles. Additionally, links to the bbc.com/weather weather forecast are included as well. At first sight, this search engine looks completely normal. It is when you take a better look that you realize something is not right. For one, we do not have access to the Privacy Policy or any other legal document that would reveal important information about the hijacker, and that cannot be ignored. If this information is not provided – and we do not have an official download site to fall back onto either – there is a possibility that the creator of the search tool is trying to hide something. If that were the case, your virtual security could be at risk just by using this seemingly reliable search tool, and this is why we discuss its removal. We can show you how to delete Additionalsearch.co.uk from your browsers. Read more »
