What is Search.emaildefendsearch.com?
Search.emaildefendsearch.com usually replaces a default search engine when a user installs Email Defend from its official website or it enters the system without permission. At first sight, this software looks really beneficial and decent because it promises to help you protect your email and PC from cyber criminals, scan websites against scam and phishing, and even find the necessary information very quickly. As it makes many promises, it is not surprising why users decide to install or keep Email Defend on their systems. Unfortunately, users soon notice that only a new search engine has appeared after the installation of this application. In other words, Email Defend is not as useful as it claims to be. Yes, there are easy-access links to IMDb, Netflix, and news websites on the startup page of Search.emaildefendsearch.com; however, the search engine itself might be more harmful than beneficial, so we recommend getting rid of it. You will be able to do that if you delete Email Defend software from the system.
How does Search.emaildefendsearch.com act?
As has already been mentioned, Search.emaildefendsearch.com will replace your regular homepage and modify your New Tab page; however, it is not the main reason why you should get rid of it and start using another search provider. Research carried out by the specialists at anti-spyware-101.com has shown that this search provider is unreliable in a sense that it can provide users with sponsored links and third-party ads. They are not dangerous themselves, but there is still a huge possibility that you will be redirected to other unreliable web pages after clicking on them. Unfortunately, we do not think that you will be able to recognize and ignore these ads and links because they might look like other regular search results. As you have probably understood, this search engine might really put your system at risk.
Yes, you can download Email Defend from its official web page, but if you cannot remember doing that, it is very likely that this software has slithered onto your computer rather secretly. Research has shown that it might have entered your system when you have clicked on the pop-up that appeared on filewin.com or filewon.com. In most cases, these pop-ups appear to users when they try to download some kind of program from any of these websites. Researchers also believe that a bunch of untrustworthy software might have been installed on your system alongside Email Defend too, so we suggest scanning your system with an antimalware scanner. You can also try to check your system’s condition yourself too, but we believe that it is not an easy task to do.
