How does Search.searchmab.com work?

Search.searchmab.com is classified as a browser hijacker because users have no other option but to install it if they want to download Map Beast, which was created by SaferBrowser, the company that stands behind Search.nw-cmf.com, Search.searchetg.com, and other hijackers. When the extension is installed, your New Tab page will represent it; however, this page does not look much different that the homepage that represents Search.searchetg.com. The default search provider is modified to represent this search provider as well. Overall, if you install the extension, your entire browser is corrupted, and not everyone will be happy with that. Were homepage and default search provider settings were modified without an extension? If that is the case, maybe another program is linked to the hijacker? In any case, you should not treat it as a normal search provider that can help you browse the web in a more efficient or useful manner. Although the interface of this hijacker is not special in any way, and the easy-access links it displays are harmless, the main reason to remove it is the untrustworthy search provider.

Did you do any research before letting Search.searchetg.com in? If you have, you might have reviewed the Privacy Policy as well. This document is available at search.searchmab.com/home/privacy?source= and you can learn a lot just by analyzing it. For example, a statement in all capital letters warns that information that could identify you personally could be recorded and shared with third parties. Of course, this document does not reveal which parties might be involved, and that is something to keep in mind. Are you sure you are safe if unknown parties are capable of accessing personal information? Malicious parties would not miss the opportunity to record such information for the purpose of exposing you to virtual scams, and so you have to think if you want to put your virtual security at risk just so you could use Yahoo search engine. Search.searchetg.com redirects all search queries via extsearch.maxwebsearch.com to the popular search.yahoo.com search engine. Unfortunately, the results could be modified, and this is another reason to remove this browser hijacker from your web browsers.
