What is Eco Search?
Eco Search could make changes to your browser, such as replace its homepage if you let it settle in. Also, our researchers say that it might encourage users to search the Internet via a specific search tool that may redirect to a modified Bing search engine. This could result in seeing injected third-party content among your search results. Such behavior is partly why the extension was classified as a potentially unwanted program, a tool that might have undesirable qualities. If you want to get to know it better, you should have a look at the rest of our article. On the other hand, if you came here to learn how to eliminate Eco Search, we advise checking the instructions placed below the text or getting a reliable antimalware tool.
Where does Eco Search come from?
One of the places where Eco Search could be downloaded from now is the Chrome Web Store page (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eco-search/dglpocfnfjbehlapidkpceibekhjnabd). There might be other places where this potentially unwanted program could be offered to install too. As you see, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com noticed the application’s offer after they got redirected to thebestoffersintheweb.com/redirect/57a764d042bf8. We believe that users could get redirected to such websites after clicking pop-ups, banners, or other advertisements. Consequently, we recommend not to interact with ads if you do not know that their offered material is harmless and safe for you to interact with.
How does Eco Search work?
Eco Search might replace your browser’s homepage, new tab page, or even default search engine with a particular search engine. Research shows that this search tool might redirect your search queries to a modified version of the Bing search engine. What is essential to know is that the results displayed through a modified search tool could be different from the ones that would be presented by the original Bing search engine. For instance, the potentially unwanted program could place additional advertising content among them that might come from various third parties. We do not say that this will necessarily happen, but since there is a chance it could, we advise being cautious when you surf the Internet through Eco Search provided search tool.
As for more about the extension’s working manner, it is difficult to say what else it could to do. Our researchers say that the application’s description on the Chrome Web Store page does not contain Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement. These documents might not be displayed on Eco Search offers as well, although we cannot be sure as we encountered only one of them so far. Usually, both Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement statements provide consumers with essential information like explanations on how a tool could gather and use their data or if users should expect to receive advertising. Thus, their lack might prevent you from learning weather the application can protect your privacy as well as other mattering things.
