What is Searchforfree.info?
Searchforfree.info is a web page that contains tweets with open positions available at different companies. The web page might seem to be useful for those who seek to find a job; however, it is definitely not as trustworthy as it seems to be at first glance. According to the researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com, there is even a risk that it will expose users to malicious software. We believe that there are many other ways to find a job and you do not need Searchforfree.info for that. Therefore, we suggest eliminating this web page from your Internet Explorer.

What does Searchforfree.info do?
Even though Searchforfree.info looks like a beneficial web page, you should still be careful with it because nobody knows whether it will not place sponsored content among those job ads. In addition, there is still a possibility that various advertisements will be shown for users. For example, they might be offered to download some kind of application or download updates. If you already see those ads, you should definitely ignore all of them because you might download unreliable software if you click on any of them, or you might simply be taken to an untrustworthy third-party web page with malicious content. Believe us; malicious software will not ask your permission to enter your system, so you might not even notice when this happens.
Advertisements and sponsored links might be really dangerous and cause harm to the system; however, there are other reasons why we suggest getting rid of Searchforfree.info too.

We cannot guarantee that this information will not be used for bad purposes, which is why we suggest that you put an end to the activities of Searchforfree.info as soon as possible. As you already know, the only way to do that is to delete it and set another homepage on Internet Explorer.
