To begin with, it is important to mention that threats like Search.searchyffff.com usually travel with bundled software installers. Therefore, if the search engine appeared on the browser without you noticing it, there is a chance you downloaded some unreliable program that might have been bundled with this browser hijacker. In many cases, users are asked if they want to get additional software offered on the setup wizard.

However, the suggestions might be set to be installed automatically if the user does not deselect them and in some cases, the only way to notice them is to choose custom or advanced installation settings. In other words, if you wish to stay away from unreliable applications alike in the future, you should pay more attention to the whole installation process.

Search.searchyffff.com should replace the user’s homepage on his default browser as soon as it enters the computer. There are a few reasons why we advise against the search engine’s usage. First of all, the application comes from untrustworthy developers know as Polarity Technologies LTD. We doubt their reliability because we are aware they have developed a lot of similar browser hijackers already. The next reason not to trust the tool is the possibility of potentially dangerous advertising content in the search results. Apparently, the software’s End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy statements mention advertising provided by third-party advertising networks and other partners. This content could look annoying, but harmless to some users, although in reality, it could be dangerous if it comes from malicious sources. The last reason is automatic updates, which based on the statements of the application’s EULA could take the form of completely new versions. The risk here is that these new versions might be just as unreliable as Search.searchyffff.com.

Given you do not wish to take any chances with this questionable search engine, we advise you to remove it immediately. As promised earlier, the instructions located just below this paragraph will guide you through the process and help you eliminate the browser hijacker.
