How does Searchmulty.com work?
Our research team scoured the web to find the source of Searchmulty.com, and it was found that the suspicious search engine is represented at https://searchmulty.com/lp/2096/. If you click the “CLICK TO ACTIVATE” button in the center of the page, you are redirected to the Google Chrome web store page (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multy-app/jgfdjdipohonjjlikeimedkgjbjdhhja) that presents the actual installer. The Privacy Policy link on the official website does not work, but the one on the web store page opens searchmulty.com/privacy_policy/. According to this statement, information about users is collected and shared with third parties, who, of course, are not disclosed. You have the option to disable this by emailing the creator of the suspicious search engine. It is also stated that cookies, pixels, beacons, and other trackers are used by the creator and advertising companies. Basically, if you let Searchmulty.com in and use it to browse the web, information about you and your activity might become available to all kinds of parties. This is an important reason to delete this search tool. It is important to note that Multy App could also be spread using aggressive ads or misleading software bundles.
The base of Searchmulty.com is search.yahoo.com, which, of course, is the well-known Yahoo Search. If your browser’s default search provider is corrupted, every time you enter keywords into the address bar, you are redirected via searchmulty.com/results.php?pub=[number]&v=[number]&q=[SEARCH QUERY] to search.yahoo.com. Although the results are not modified, you must agree that this is very suspicious. The thing is that as long as you are using the suspicious search engine, your activity can be tracked, and information can be sold or shared with undisclosed parties. Have you noticed the “+” icon created on your browser? If you click it, chrome-extension://jgfdjdipohonjjlikeimedkgjbjdhhja/index.html will be opened. Overall, the extension is completely useless for you personally, and if you do not want the search engine recording the keywords you input, it is best if you delete it without further hesitation.
