Search.powersearch.online Removal Guide

Not all trustworthy-looking search tools are fully reliable, so if Search.powersearch.online ever shows up on your web browser, it would be best to remove it. We do not say that it is malicious, but it cannot be called fully reliable too because it might display the so-called modified search results. Also, users claim that they have found it set on their web browsers without their knowledge, which suggests that it might be promoted by some kind of untrustworthy browser extension. If Search.powersearch.online has replaced your homepage and New Tab page on your browsers too, and you are not happy about the changes applied, you can remove Search.powersearch.online quite easily from all affected browsers. You simply need to reset them all to default settings. Once you remove it, you could set a new website you like.

Search.powersearch.online looks legitimate at first glance, so we are not surprised that users decide to keep it even if they realize that these changes have been applied without their knowledge.

In other words, it seems to be a reliable search provider. Unfortunately, it is not exactly true. It is far from being perfect, we can assure you, but, of course, it is not malicious. If you want to, you can use it, but researchers at 411-spyware.com do not think that it is a very good idea to keep it. Research conducted by them has shown that this search provider is powered by the modified Yahoo! search engine. Because of this, some displayed search results might be modified too. Theoretically, they might redirect to untrustworthy websites, but it does not mean that this will necessarily happen to you. Of course, it would be best not to click on them. The problem with these modified search results is that it is not very easy to recognize them – they do not differ much from ordinary search results. Because of this, we suggest that you get rid of Search.powersearch.online instead of trying to avoid them.
