What is Search.searchlfff.com?

Search.searchlfff.com is one of the newest Polarity Technologies Ltd. search tools. It has been developed on the same template as Search.yourpackagesnow.com, Searchyouremailnow.com, and Search.yourinterestscenter.com, and, just like these search engines, it does look like a legitimate search provider. Unfortunately, the appearance is not everything, so it would be dumb to keep this search tool and use it to perform web searches just because it looks reputable. Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com are sure that Search.searchlfff.com is not exactly what it seems to be. In other words, it is not a legitimate search tool users should use for web searches, they say. They have put this search engine under the browser hijacker category instead because it makes specific modifications on users’ computers resulting in the altered settings of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome without their consent. It is not the only problem with this search tool. The next paragraph of this article will tell you more about it. The knowledge you acquire should help you to decide whether to delete it or let it stay.test

What does Search.searchlfff.com do?

The entrance of the Search.searchlfff.com browser hijacker always results in the altered settings of browsers. Speaking specifically, your homepage and default search tool will be changed. As a consequence, you will be forced to perform web searches using Search.searchlfff.com. Of course, it does not mean that modifications applied to your browsers cannot be undone. According to our experienced specialists, this Polarity search tool is not what users should use to search the web because it has turned out that some of the search results it displays to users are the so-called modified search results. These modified Yahoo! search results will not open pages with the information you are searching for because they are shown to users just to promote certain third-party pages. The chances are high that Polarity Technologies Ltd., the company that has developed Search.searchlfff.com, gets the advertising revenue from these pages. The main problem with these modified search results is that they might promote corrupted pages too, so users who do not want to end up with undesirable software on their computers should not click on these search results. That is, unfortunately, easier said than done because it is not always easy to recognize these modified search results and thus avoid them.

There is one more thing you need to know about Search.searchlfff.com if you decide to keep it. It has turned out that this search provider collects personally-identifiable information entered by the user in the search box next to a bunch of details that do not identify users personally. If you are not going to remove this search engine from your browsers, you should, at least, not use any personal details as search queries because they will all fall into its author’s lap. Later on, the gathered data might also be shared with third parties.

Where does Search.searchlfff.com come from?

We do not think that you are the one who have set Search.searchlfff.com on your browsers because this browser hijacker usually changes homepages and default search tools on all users’ browsers after it slithers onto their computers without their knowledge. To find out how it usually infiltrates computers, our specialists have carried out an in-depth analysis. Its results have clarified how this infection manages to enter systems unnoticed. It has turned out that users often download it together with third-party software from filewon.com, malavida.es, descargar.es, and similar pages. Additionally, users can install it by clicking on pop-ups promoting it. These pop-ups can be found on dubious pages or displayed to users by advertising-supported applications (adware) active on their computers. These programs cannot be kept active on the system either.

How to delete Search.searchlfff.com

You will be forced to perform your all web searches with Search.searchlfff.com until you remove it. If you ask our opinion, it should not be used as the default search tool because of the modified search results it might present users with. The undesirable search provider can be erased from Internet Explorer using Control Panel, but you will need to undo all the changes applied to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome one by one yourself if you choose the manual removal method over the automatic one. Yes, you can use an automated scanner to eliminate it too. This removal method allows users to delete the undesirable search tool from their browsers in the twinkling of an eye.
