What is Search.htextfrompc.co?
We do not think that there are users out there who set Search.htextfrompc.co willingly on their browsers. It is more likely that this search tool replaces users’ default homepages on their browsers due to the entrance of a browser hijacker. Unfortunately, it is compatible with all browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, so if you get infected with the browser hijacker, your all browsers’ settings will be altered. There are two types of users: those who notice the changes applied to their browsers but do not do anything about that and those who do not want to see Search.htextfrompc.co open for them. We hope that you belong to the second group of users and go to remove this Polarity Technologies Ltd product from your browsers today. Of course, this search tool is considered unreliable not without reason. It has several drawbacks that make it one of those untrustworthy search providers. The last paragraph will tell you more about it, so continue reading!
What does Search.htextfrompc.co do?
Search.htextfrompc.co is not a trustworthy search tool for sure. In fact, it is often classified as a browser hijacker because many users cannot explain how and when it was set on their browsers, suggesting that it usually hijacks users’ web browsers. If you see this search tool open for you too when you launch your browser, you should not use it as your default search tool because the chances are high that sooner or later it will present you with the so-called modified search results. Generally speaking, these are third-party links that open third-party pages. Most likely, the owner of Search.htextfrompc.co, i.e., Polarity Technologies Ltd, gets revenue for clicks on these links. It will not share the revenue with you, and, as research conducted by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com has shown, you might even be taken to untrustworthy pages if you keep clicking on those links fearlessly. Unfortunately, we cannot promise that you could avoid those links because they do not stand out. Because of this, we suggest that you remove Search.htextfrompc.co completely to protect yourself from potential threats.
You should also not keep Search.htextfrompc.co if you do not want it to record any personally-identifiable information about you. Yes, it gathers users’ personal data as a component of the search data too. Of course, it will not access your banking credentials and other sensitive details – it can record only those personal details entered in the search box by a user voluntarily. It is not the only type of information it records for sure. It gathers non-personally identifiable details automatically too. If you open its Privacy Policy document, you will find more about that, but it is enough to know that it records such details as the type of browser, operating system type, search queries, websites visited, and diagnostic information “which describes how our Services are operating on your system.” You cannot change which types of information it records about users, but you can disable it at any time so that it could no longer track and record information about you.
Where does Search.htextfrompc.co come from?
The Search.htextfrompc.co browser hijacker usually arrives on users’ PCs in bundles together with third-party software from malavida.es, descargar.es, and other file-sharing websites, so we are not surprised at all that so many users cannot understand why their browsers’ settings were changed. Search.htextfrompc.co is only one of hundreds of search tools acting like browser hijackers, so if you do not want to find your browsers’ settings changed without your consent ever again, install a security application on your computer as soon as possible. As long as you keep it active, unauthorized changes will not be applied to your web browsers ever again.
