Better-Search.net Removal Guide

Better-Search.net is a search engine owned by Perion Network Ltd. The search provider retrieves search results from Bing Search, which means that it cannot provide you with authentic search hits. If you have found that Better-Search.net has become your home page and default search provider without your permission, it implies that you have installed a program promoting this search engine. The very fact that the changes on your browsers are made without your consent means that your privacy is violated; hence, we recommend that you take action to eliminate the intruder from the browsers.

Like very many search engines, Better-Search.net uses browser cookies and other tracking techniques to collect information related to your browsing habits. The information that is collected includes your IP address, the type of the browser, the information on your operating system, registration-related information and the like. The information may be shared with Perion’s partners, but it is pointed out that it is done with the user’s permission. Nevertheless, bear in mind that some of the details acquired by the developers of Better-Search.net can be personally identifiable. Do not hesitate to remove Better-Search.net from the browsers, especially if you have not had intensions of using this search provider.

Needless to say, Better-Search.net may provide you with links to other websites. Some display advertisements are indeed provided on the startup page, but keep in mind that Better-Search.net is not responsible for the privacy practices of the websites to which you are taken by those advertisements. If you want to benefit from the website to which you are taken, first read its privacy policy to make sure that you can trust it. If you find that there is something questionable, check the ratings of the website and only then act accordingly. Neither Better-Search.net nor Perion is responsible for your interaction with the third party websites, which means that you interact with those websites at your own risk.
