Search.yourrecipesnow.com Removal Guide

Search.yourrecipesnow.com might seem useful if you constantly look for new food recipes. However, if you take away the provided links to popular recipe web pages, the search engine becomes useless. Moreover, the application might also be dangerous to your computer. It seems to be that the browser hijacker could display unreliable clickable ads, and they might lead you to malicious websites. If you do not want such content on your browser, it would be best to get rid of the search engine. Luckily, the application can be erased either manually or automatically. Thus, if you want to eliminate the browser hijacker, slide to the end of the article and check our removal guide.

The official browser hijacker’s website is yourrecipesnow.com. The site offers the Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement documents, and a download button with a short description of the application. According to this description, the installation of the program would allow users to access favorite recipe sites quickly right from the browser. This actually sounds ridiculous because you can quickly access any site while clicking on its icon from the bookmarks bar or simply typing the address, so obviously there is no need to install anything besides a legitimate browser application. This might make you wonder what use is there from Search.yourrecipesnow.com.

As a search engine, Search.yourrecipesnow.com does not seem to be any better than the ones that are already created. In fact, it might seem annoying to some users as it could display commercial ads, sponsored links, and other advertising content. The worst part is that these ads could come from unreliable sources. To give you an example, some of the ads could redirect you to web pages that contain viruses, Trojans, ransomware, etc. If your antimalware software is not fully updated or you do not have a security tool at all, such threats could settle in the system and do some damage to it.

Some users do not understand how they downloaded Search.yourrecipesnow.com without realizing it. This situation happens to many users who carelessly install applications with bundled installers. Often setup wizards suggest other software that might be even unrelated to the main program. With some setup wizards users have to choose the custom installation settings if they want to see what else is offered, but that is not always the case. If the user reads all the installation steps carefully, there should be no surprises afterward. Unfortunately, some users often rush the process and install such browser hijackers like Search.yourrecipesnow.com accidentally.

If you are an inexperienced user, but you want to delete the application as soon as possible, you may want to get a legitimate antimalware tool. Scan the system with the tool right after its installation and wait till it detects the browser hijacker. Together with the report, there should be a deletion button that will get rid of all detections at the same time.
