Search.hmyutilitybox.co
Search.hmyutilitybox.co is the kind of threat that proves how important it is to do research before installing anything. This search tool is classified as a browser hijacker, and it was developed by Polarity Technologies Ltd. to expose users to a highly questionable search engine. In fact, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team indicates that this search tool is the primary reason for deleting Search.hmyutilitybox.co from all browsers. Why is that so? Because the hijacker, first of all, redirects to search.yahoo.com without authorization and, second, it shows results that might include advertisements and links to potentially unreliable sites. Yahoo has provided the creator of the hijacker with a search engine, but the company is not involved in showcasing unreliable links that Polarity Technologies Ltd. is paid to showcase, which is why Polarity is the only party you need to hold accountable. If you wish to delete Search.hmyutilitybox.co right now, check out the instructions available below. If you are eager to learn more before you start the removal process, keep reading. Read more »

Search-smart.work is a new search tool that will be set as your default search provider if you install the browser extension named Smart Search. It is compatible with both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, as research conducted by specialists at anti-spyware-101.com has shown, which means that it might alter settings of these two browsers. At the time of writing, this piece of software was not popular, but we suspect that its popularity will start growing soon because it does look like software that cannot be trusted at first glance. Speaking specifically, it is advertised as “a fresh, new search experience.” It promises to enhance users’ search experience to a great extent, but it does not mean that it is a very good idea to install it on the system. Our specialists cannot confirm that it is useful software either, so you should think twice before clicking on the installation button. Have you already found Search-smart.work set as your new default search provider and can locate Smart Search in your add-ons manager? If “yes” is the answer to this question, we recommend that you get rid of Search-smart.work ASAP because it is not likely at all that it is a legitimate search provider. Needless to say, it will disappear from the default search tool’s place only when you delete the Smart Search extension fully.
