Searchhome-page.com Removal Guide

Searchhome-page.com is a search engine that will replace your homepage, search engine, and, probably, the New Tab page, if a browser hijacker infection manages to enter the computer. It is known that these threats usually sneak onto computers silently, which means that they do not ask whether they can enter the computer. Once Searchhome-page.com infiltrates the computer, it immediately changes the settings on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately, it will not be easy to change the settings of browsers. If you wish to do so, you will have to delete the Searchhome-page.com browser hijacker from your computer fully as soon as possible. As this threat creates several new registry keys, changes the Value data inside several different registry keys, and modifies files that contain users’ preferences, e.g. Preferences, Secure Preferences, and Web Data files, many users think that it is extremely hard to get rid of a browser hijacker. Well, we do not say that it is a piece of cake, but we are sure that it will be way easier for you to eliminate it after you read the article prepared by specialists working at 411-spyware.com deliberately.

As you already know, Searchhome-page.com will change the settings of all your browsers; however, it is definitely not the only reason we suggest getting rid of this questionable search engine. According to research carried out by our specialists recently, this search tool is not trustworthy because it is designed to drive traffic to other websites. In other words, it has been developed for advertising purposes. Of course, not all the search results will be sponsored links and advertisements, but it is still not the reason to keep it and use it as the default search engine. In fact, some users complain that Searchhome-page.com does not return any search results at all no matter what they enter into the search box. It only apologizes for the inconvenience: “We apologize for the inconvenience, but we weren’t able to find results for this query.” If it does not show anything to you too, it is definitely not worth keeping it. Of course, it would be better to remove it from the computer even though it returns search results too because these sponsored links and commercial advertisements might redirect straight to bad third-party websites. Some of them might even promote bad applications.

We have also checked the Privacy Policy of Searchhome-page.com. Fortunately, it should not record personal information if you do not submit it yourself. Even though this search tool claims not to be interested in the personal information, it is said in this document that it leads to external sites. The developer of Searchhome-page.com has no control, and it is not responsible for their privacy practices. In other words, you surf these third-party websites at your own risk. If you wish to feel safe and thus stop these redirections to third-party websites, you should delete Searchhome-page.com fully from your computer.

Before we turn to the Searchhome-page.com removal, we want you to know that other similar computer infections exist, and they might enter your PC quickly again if you do not do anything to protect your computer. According to our specialists, browser hijackers are usually spread through bundled malicious installers, which is why users often notice changes applied to their browsers after they install some kind of program from a third-party website. If you do not want to cause harm to your PC again, you should stay away from third-party websites promoting applications. For example, if you need to download Java, you should download it from its official website instead of trying to get it from a file-sharing or a torrent website. On top of that, we suggest that you install security software to make sure that your PC is protected from dangers 24/7/365.
