Where does Safepage.easyfiletool.com come from?
As mentioned, this search engine comes together with the EasyFile application. The program is free of charge, and you can download it from multiple sources online. Needless to say, the application has its own official website. That is one of the few reasons we cannot categorize Safepage.easyfiletool.com and everything related to it as malware.
Malware enters your system when you expect it the least. EasyFile, on the other hand, needs your permission to get installed on your system. Therefore, when you download this application from easyfiletool.com, it is only natural that you install the application willingly. It might be that you do not know this program comes with an additional extension that gets added to your browser, but even so, the information about it should be given in the installation wizard.

According to the information provided at the official website, the program has been developed by BYSENDA TECHNOLOGY LIMITED.

Thus, it is possible to assume that the search engine and the app come from a group of freeware applications that users and computer security specialists have encountered before.
What does Safepage.easyfiletool.com do?
The search engine itself is not malicious. Even if you did not intent to add it to your browser, you have to understand that the installer for EasyFile is configured in a way that it automatically adds the Google Chrome extension when the program gets installed on your computer. This extension, that is called Search App by EasyFileTool, changes your homepage and new tab settings. The next time you open your browser, it will automatically redirect you to Safepage.easyfiletool.com.
Is it safe to use this search engine? Well, the program certainly does not try to infect you with malware or steal your personal information. The issue here is that, for the most part, users do not agree to or are not aware of the fact that a new search engine is added to their browser. Thus, before we deal with the security matter, we should address the possibility that your personal privacy has been trespassed (unintentionally) by a random software application.
If such a trivial program can enter your computer unnoticed, just imagine how many malicious applications might slither into your system with the intention to rip you off. To prevent that from happening, you should do all you can to detect and remove all the unwanted programs at once.
