Search.searcheeh.com is a browser hijacker that changes your default browser settings. The program is compatible with the Chrome browser so far, but it does not mean that it may work on other browsers in the future, too. The hijacker is associated with the Email Enhanced extension that is available for download from the official website, although that is not the main distribution vector employed by this search engine. It is clear that you need to delete Search.searcheeh.com from your browser because this browser hijacker could be exploited by cyber criminals, and this would eventually lead to dangerous malware infections.
Actually, this browser hijacker is not the first program in line that we have encountered. It is exactly the same as search.searchlttrn.com, search.yourpackagesnow.com, searchyouremailnow.com, and many other search engines from the same family. All of them travel around with particular applications that promote some specific function. Supposedly, they should improve your web browsing experience, but we can definitely tell that they come with side effects that overshadow any positive functions these apps might bring. After all, who would want to deal with additional search engines no one wanted to have? Definitely not you. Hence, we urge you to restore your browser settings at once.
The reason we think Search.searcheeh.com could be dangerous is the fact that browser hijackers thrive on promoting third-party content. They need to do that to earn monetary profits and cover their development costs. So, browser hijackers provide advertising space for third parties, and virtually anyone could make use of that because Search.searcheeh.com (or any other hijacker for that matter) does not check the quality of the content that gets promoted. This could lead to severe computer security threats because some of the embedded links distributed via this “search engine” could lead you to malware-related websites. And from there, the road to a malware infection is almost certain.
On top of that, this browser hijacker will surely monitor your online activities to provide you with customized commercial content. Have you noticed that most of the pop-ups you encounter have something in common with your latest search queries? That is because Search.searcheeh.com employs tracking cookies and other monitoring techniques to figure out which websites you frequent the most, and what you usually search for online. When they have your online profile, they can display customized content that you will be more likely to click. What’s more, it will also seem like the content is reliable because the program makes use of a custom version of the Yahoo! Search engine.
Needless to say, all of this is done in order to make you think that this browser hijacker is the real deal. But you will do yourself a favor if you remove it immediately. You can do it manually by following the instructions we have provided below this article.
After manual removal, you should scan your PC with an automatic security tool because you are bound to have more unwanted apps on-board, and you need to take care of those, too. Also, automatic software removal is your best bet when you want to ensure that all the unnecessary applications get deleted from your system for good.
