Memberacy Search Removal Guide

If your all searches go through Memberacy Search, there is a huge possibility that you have the undesirable browser extension installed. It must be Memberacy, a piece of software that is promoted with a slogan “search everything and find it,” specialists say. We are not surprised that there are people who willingly install it on their browsers because it promises that they could search the web with “confidence, accuracy and pride” if they download it. It is not very popular yet, judging from the total number of users who have installed it from the Chrome Web Store, but this might change one day. If you do not have it installed on your computer yet, our recommendation for you would be to install another extension with similar features instead of it because it is a typical potentially unwanted program (PUP). It means that it is not a malicious application, but, unfortunately, it might still act in an undesirable way. You should read the rest of this article to find out what we have in mind here.

Some users download Memberacy willingly from its official sources, whereas others do not know much about its entrance; however, no matter how it enters users’ PCs, this piece of software acts the same in all the cases. Once it is installed on users’ computers, it affects Google Chrome right away. Specifically speaking, you will find its default search tool changed to Memberacy Search. Because of this, your all searches will be redirected through http://memberacy.com/?q= before Google search results are displayed to you. We cannot call this extension a browser hijacker because it informs users about these changes: “Please note that this extension will change your search settings after installing it.” Of course, if you download it from a third-party source, you might not know about the changes it applies to browsers in advance. If we were you, we would remove Memberacy Search even though it is not a malicious search tool because the chances are high that you will see some modified search results if you use it as a default search provider. In the worst-case scenario, these search results might take you to hacked websites promoting bad software. What else you should know about Memberacy Search is that it might collect some information about you if you use it as your default search tool. It will not access your online banking credentials, but it might automatically record your search queries, websites you enter, your IP address, the version of your browser, and other non-personally identifiable details that can tell more about your interests. You cannot change how Memberacy Search works, but you can remove it and put an end to activities it performs by erasing the Memberacy extension promoting it.

Since not all the users know why they have this extension installed, specialists believe that it might be installed on users’ browsers without their knowledge too.
