What is Search.searchlttradionow.com?
If your homepage has been replaced by a new website Search.searchlttradionow.com against your will, a browser hijacker must have entered your computer without permission. Specialists classify this URL as a browser hijacker even though it has an interface of a legitimate search provider because it changes users’ browsers settings without permission, and, in most cases, it arrives on computers illegally in malicious software bundles. The same can be said about other search tools developed by the same company Polarity Technologies Ltd, e.g. Search.yourclassifiedscenter.com and Search.youremailnow.com, so if you ever discover any of them on your web browsers, eliminate them without consideration. We believe you have understood that Search.searchlttradionow.com needs to be removed from the place of your default search tool as well. You should do this for the sake of your system’s safety – the active use of this search engine might result in problems linked to both security and privacy. If it is still too hard for you to decide what to do with this search engine, read this entire report. We are sure it will help you to arrive at a final decision.
What does Search.searchlttradionow.com do?
There are several reasons Search.searchlttradionow.com is called an untrustworthy search tool by specialists, but the main one is the presence of the modified search results. Modified search results are sponsored links driving traffic to third-party pages. These links will be placed on the search results page opened by Search.searchlttradionow.com, meaning that you will definitely click on these ads one day and experience a redirection to a third-party page. Some of these websites might look quite appealing because these sponsored links opening pages are picked on the basis of users’ interests; however, some of these promoted websites might be harmful too. For example, you might be automatically redirected to a page full of malicious applications after clicking on a single sponsored search result. Some malicious applications are capable of entering computers the second users open websites they are hiding on. Therefore, we highly recommend removing Search.searchlttradionow.com from browsers as soon as possible so that websites with malicious software could be avoided.
If you have carefully read the previous paragraph, you must already know that Search.searchlttradionow.com might expose users to potential dangers. Unfortunately, it is only one of two reasons specialists at anti-spyware-101.com cannot call this Polarity Technologies Ltd. product a legitimate search provider. It has also been found that it is interested in both non-personally identifiable and personally-identifiable details about users. The non-personal information consists of details about the system (e.g. the type of the default browser, the version of the Windows OS running on the affected computer, IP address, etc.), whereas personally-identifiable information Search.searchlttradionow.com records consist of details users provide voluntarily. Of course, they do not know that these details will be recorded, so they fearlessly provide them. For example, they might enter a name, surname, address in the search box of Search.searchlttradionow.com as search queries. Since the personally-identifiable information will be recorded too, serious privacy-related problems might arise. This usually happens when the gathered data is disclosed.
Where does Search.searchlttradionow.com come from?

Our researchers have carried out thorough research to find more about its dissemination, and we have to say that it has been quite fruitful.
