Search.searchlttrnow.com Removal Guide

Search.searchlttrnow.com might look like a legitimate search engine, but we can assure you that there is nothing good about it. We suggest that you remove it because our analysis has revealed that it is a malicious search that we have classified as a browser hijacker because it can replace your browser’s homepage via malicious software installers. Not only that but it can show customized search results that can have links to questionable and outright malicious websites. If you want to find out more about it, then we invite you to read this article in its entirety.

According to our research, Search.searchlttrnow.com is similar to Search.searchmpct.com, Search.searchyea.com, Search.couponsimplified.com, and many others. They all come from Polarity Technologies Ltd., a malware developer that specializes in making browser hijackers and their accompanying browser extensions. Search.searchlttrnow.com is compatible with the most popular browsers that include Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is set to replace your browser’s homepage address in order to make you use if for conducting your daily searches. The downside is that this search engine is unable to provide you a reliable, quality service because it redirects all search queries to a custom Yahoo search engine that is known to feature promotional links.

The promoted links can redirect you to rather questionable websites that can collect information about you. They can redirect you to sites that feature various surveys or clickbait news websites. However, some links can redirect you to malicious websites that can steal personal information from you or get your PC infected with malicious software such as spyware, ransomware or fake anti-virus programs. Even though the chances of you being subjected to such highly malicious content is slim, you should keep that in mind because Polarity Technologies are only interested in money, so it can promote anything and everything.

Another thing we want to discuss is this hijacker’s Privacy Policy. Apparently, in order to present you with relevant search results and promotional links, Search.searchlttrnow.com can collect some anonymous information that includes your geographical location, Internet Protocol address, Internet Service Provider domain name, browser type, operating system type, and so on. This information might not look like much, but it is very useful to the developers as they can show personalized content that generates more interest and, thus, revenue.

As far as this hijacker’s dissemination tactics are concerned, we believe that its developers use third-party software installers to install Search.searchlttrnow.com onto the computers of unwary users secretly. The developers might have made arrangements to feature this hijacker in shady software bundles whose installers inject it into the browser while installing other software. Software bundles that feature this hijacker are promoted using pop-up ads. Furthermore, the pop-ups are prevalent in the US in particular, so you should pay close attention to the pop-ups that you see when visiting US-based software distributing websites.

Search.searchlttrnow.com is a highly malicious search engine that can replace your browser’s homepage address and show you shady promotional links. We do not recommend that you use this search engine because it can put your PC at risk. Furthermore, you should remove it from your browser entirely, and you can do this by following the instructions provided below this article.
