What is Home.searchfreehoroscope.com?
Home.searchfreehoroscope.com is a page users find set on their Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers after installing the extension called Search Free Horoscope New Tab. Of course, it might also be installed on users’ web browsers without their knowledge. Because of this, specialists often call Home.searchfreehoroscope.com a browser hijacker. We do not say that users are completely not informed about the changes this extension makes; however, some information is left unsaid. Specifically speaking, users are only told that Home.searchfreehoroscope.com will be set as a New Tab URL, but, in reality, it changes all major settings of web browsers, i.e., a default homepage, search engine, and a New Tab page. This means that users no longer see their preferred pages, so it is not at all surprising that so many users find the changes they see applied to their browsers undesirable and wish to delete Home.searchfreehoroscope.com from their browsers. Luckily, it should not be hard to do that because it will disappear from browsers when you delete the extension promoting it from your browsers.
What does Home.searchfreehoroscope.com do?
Although Search Free Horoscope New Tab is presented as a beneficial piece of software, you will only notice your browsers’ settings changed after installing it. The page it sets looks like an ordinary search provider, and it displays search results when the search query is entered, but, unfortunately, we still cannot say that users can use it as their default search engine because it is not a tool that can be trusted fully. Researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have noticed that it might display the modified Yahoo search results. These search results do not differ much from search results shown by legitimate search providers, but it does not mean that clicking on them is not dangerous at all. Specialists say that users should stay away from these modified search results because they might redirect them straight to untrustworthy pages no matter they click on them voluntarily or accidentally. You will be sure that you cannot click on those search results only if you delete Home.searchfreehoroscope.com from browsers. This can be done by removing the browser extension that promotes it. You should remove it not only because of this. Research has also shown that information about you might be automatically collected if you keep this extension installed and do nothing about its presence. Luckily, only non-personally identifiable information, e.g., IP address, geographic location, system type, etc. will be recorded if you do not submit any personal details; however, it does not mean that you should let it act like this because it is unclear why it needs this information.
