What is Search.searchm3f.com?

Search.searchm3f.com is a browser hijacker that might change your browsers’ settings without your knowledge one day. It has been developed by Polarity Technologies Ltd., and it does not differ much from older browser hijackers this company has developed. For example, it has been created on the same template as Search.searchlttrn.com, Search.yourpackagesnow.com, and Search.youremailnow.com. If your browsers’ settings have been altered too, and, because of this, you see Search.youremailnow.com when you open your browser, eliminate it as soon as possible even though it looks like a search tool that can be trusted at first glance. If you use Internet Explorer, you could erase this browser hijacker manually through Control Panel and thus undo the changes applied to it. Unfortunately, it will not be that easy to remove it from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Of course, we are still sure you will manage to get rid of Search.youremailnow.com after you read this article to the very end and then follow the manual removal guide provided below this article.

What does Search.searchm3f.com do?

Search.youremailnow.com is not an ordinary search tool even though its appearance suggests that it is a legitimate search engine. Instead, it is known to be a browser hijacker. Browser hijackers are such malicious applications that apply changes to users’ browsers without their knowledge. Search.youremailnow.com is no exception. You will discover it set as your new homepage and default search tool without your permission. We are sure there are not many users who set this page willingly on their browsers. It does not really matter what the reason you see it is because you need to remove Search.youremailnow.com from all affected web browsers as soon as possible because it might cause you some problems. We have to admit that it does look like a search provider that can be fully trusted; however, we cannot let you use it to perform web searches because, just like older Polarity search tools, it might show the modified search results to you, which immediately makes Search.searchm3f.com an untrustworthy search provider. In the worst-case scenario, these search results might redirect you straight to untrustworthy pages. It is not very likely that you will find something that you are searching for on them because their links appear on the search results page opened to you not because these websites contain information based on the search query entered. Instead, they are displayed to users expecting that they will visit them. Some of these websites might even contain untrustworthy software, so you should be very careful if you perform web searches using Search.searchm3f.com.

Researchers do not consider Search.searchm3f.com fully trustworthy search tool also because it has turned out that it might record personal details. Yes, it could not access your passwords, banking credentials, or other sensitive details, but it will definitely not miss an opportunity to record personal details inserted by the user in the search box. Recorded data might be later disclosed to third parties.

Where does Search.searchm3f.com come from?

We do not think that you have set Search.searchm3f.com on your browsers willingly. It is more likely that it has changed browsers’ settings without permission in your case as well. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com say that users usually find this search tool set on their browsers because they encounter a browser hijacker. In most cases, they are distributed together with other programs and slither onto users’ computers without permission. It is very likely that you have installed this threat on your computer together with software downloaded from filewin.com, filewon.com, malavida.es, or similar file-sharing websites. We cannot guarantee that any other distribution methods are not used to promote the Search.searchm3f.com browser hijacker. Browser hijackers can be quite sneaky, but it does not mean that it is impossible to prevent them from entering systems. There is only one thing you need to do to be safe – enable reputable security software on your computer.

How to remove Search.searchm3f.com

You are lucky if you use Internet Explorer and only this browser has been affected on your computer because you could remove Search.searchm3f.com from it easily – you just need to delete the browser hijacker through Control Panel. Unfortunately, you could not eliminate it so easily if your default web browser is Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Instructions provided below this article should help you to undo the changes applied to all popular web browsers, but it does not mean that you necessarily have to go to erase the browser hijacker from your system manually. You can get rid of it using an automated malware remover if you want to.
