Secury Search

Secury Search might appear to be attractive to those who are trying to be more cautious, but this Google Chrome extension is not the best tool for that. Although it is promoted as a security assistant that, allegedly, can guarantee that you do not visit malicious websites when browsing the web, Anti-Spyware-101.com analysts warn that it does not work in a beneficial manner. Connections to malicious websites were not blocked, and it is unlikely that you would encounter malicious links if you were using reliable search tools anyway. Overall, this extension does not seem to offer a beneficial service despite its claims, which is why it is classified as a potentially unwanted program. Furthermore, it was found that the search service it offers is not very trustworthy either, which only motivates us to help you delete Secury Search from your operating system as soon as possible. Luckily, this PUP is not difficult to handle, and if other threats do not exist, you should be back to normal security status in no time. Read more »
