This is a sign that this search tool is unreliable, but many users might believe this to be insignificant. Although Yahoo Search engine is trustworthy, and millions of users all around the world use it every single day, being redirected to it is not always a good sign.

Do not worry about the removal of this suspicious search tool because we will guide you through the process one step at a time.

The suspicious Home.clearwebsearch.net is linked to the ClearWebSearch (or Clear Web Search) add-on that is compatible with the Google Chrome browser.

According to our research, this extension – along with the search provider – can be spread by unfamiliar software distributors who might bundle it together with other unfamiliar programs.

What do you know about Home.clearwebsearch.net? If you are judging the trustworthiness of this search provider by looking at its interface, you might think that it is harmless and even useful. The hijacker provides users with an interactive search provider whose settings can be modified to show different background images, as well as show the time and date and display links to the most popular services (e.g., Youtube and Facebook). However, if you analyze this search tool deeper, for example, by reviewing the privacy policy statements, you will learn that it can be used as an advertising and marketing tool. We have already mentioned that this hijacker can showcase sponsored links via the Yahoo search engine, but it could also serve advertisers and virtual marketers by sharing information with them.
