What is Easysearchit.com?

Easysearchit.com is a new product of Imali Media Ltd., which is an infamous company responsible for developing a number of suspicious extensions and search tools. Many users discover this website set on their browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome) and cannot explain why it is there and when it has been set, so specialists tend to classify Easysearchit.com as a browser hijacker. There are, of course, users who do not pay attention to a new search tool set and do not hurry to remove it because it looks like an ordinary search provider. Most probably, you are not one of them if you are reading this article. If you have already discovered Easysearchit.com set and its presence irritates you, go to delete it today. This is a step security specialists recommend users to take because this search engine only has a legitimate-looking interface, but the truth is that it might be quite harmful. It is not associated with malware directly, but it might still expose users to potential threats. Last but not least, it has to be deleted if a user prefers to see another web page every time the browser is opened too. The detailed information regarding the removal of this dubious website will be provided in this article after explaining why it is a must to get rid of it.

What does Easysearchit.com do?

It does not mean that a search tool is immediately trustworthy if it has borrowed an interface from a decent search tool. According to specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, users should never trust search tools that are set on their browsers without permission because a reliable search provider will never change the existing browsers’ settings without permission. Unfortunately, Easysearchit.com falls into the category of these unreliable search engines that replace homepages and search engines without a user’s consent. At first glance, this website looks completely harmless, but the truth is that it is far from being a good search tool because it shows the so-called modified search results whose one and only purpose is to promote third-party websites. Since the developer of Easysearchit.com only seeks to receive as much money as possible for increasing traffic rates of these websites, it might be true that links to bad websites will be shown to users too. Not all the websites sponsored search results promote are bad, but it is impossible to say which of them can be trusted and which should be avoided by any means, so it would be best to stop using an untrustworthy search tool completely to be sure that these untrustworthy search results are no longer provided for you. Once Easysearchit.com is removed, changes it has made will also be undone. Specialists have noticed that this browser hijacker modifies the Value data of the Start Page Value located in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main, makes changes inside the Prefs.js file storing users’ preferences, and, finally, three files of Google Chrome (Secure Preferences, Preferences, and Web Data) are modified too when Easysearchit.com is set.

Since a number of untrustworthy search tools record personal information, researchers have decided to find out what types of information Easysearchit.com gathers as well. It has been revealed that this dubious search tool records data “contained in log files” first, e.g. IP address, time at which the website is visited, pages visited through Easysearchit.com, and the type of browser used. This is the so-called non-personally identifiable information. Search tools tend to collect this information, so this finding was not a surprise for specialists. They are more worried about another discovery they made - Easysearchit.com collects personal information too: “We may collect personal information at various times when you use our website or plugin.” Of course, it will not steal your online banking login credentials, but it might record the personal information you willingly submit, e.g. enter into the search box. This can be stopped only by deleting Easysearchit.com from browsers. Keep in mind that it is not the only browser hijacker that exists. They are very prevalent these days and tend to enter computers secretly, so you should install a security tool on your PC to protect your computer from unauthorized changes that might be applied in the future.

How to delete Easysearchit.com

In order not to see Easysearchit.com anymore, you need to remove this search tool from all your browsers separately. It should be no longer visible after resetting browsers to their default settings one by one. If you find the manual removal method too difficult for you, you should let an automatic scanner to erase this browser hijacker for you. Security specialists suggest using automatic tools to delete malware rather than choose the manual method because they know that it might be a challenging task for ordinary users to erase all malicious components from the system in a manual way.
