Searchomepage.com Removal Guide

If your browser home page changes to Searchomepage.com without your permission it may signal the presence of a browser extension on-board called NewTabTV. This search engine gets set arbitrarily and silently in all the main browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome as well. That means if you prefer to use any of these browsers, you will be exposed to this “uninvited” search engine and its third-party content. This search engine itself may not be a dangerous infection; however, it might still cause you certain system security issues. Since its presence in your browsers is the result of a browser hijack, we definitely think that you had better remove Searchomepage.com and the related browser extension as well.

We have discovered that this search engine may mostly sneak into your browsers via NewTabTV. You may have downloaded and installed this extension yourself, but it is more likely that you got infected with it by visiting a suspicious shareware website and clicking on a fake button or a pop-up ad there. If this useless browser extension is on-board, it means that your web surfing experience will turn into a nightmare due to the third-party ads it starts to display. So if you have Searchomepage.com search engine on your computer, it reveals a more complex security problem that may involve a number of malware infections which have the capability to introduce you and your system to unsafe content.

If you want to eliminate all the infections, you cannot solve this by simply deleting Searchomepage.com from your browsers; it is important to remove all related threats as well. In order to identify the infections, we recommend that you use a free online malware scanner. Once you know what you are up against, it will be time to act before you get more infections onto your PC.

Searchomepage.com is a search engine that practically redirects your search queries to a Google search results page. Thus, we could also call it completely redundant. However, the results might be altered by this search engine to include even targeted sponsored links or third-party ads. The third-party services this search engine offers may not be trusted. This website is operated by Apps Centre LP, and here is what they disclose about this in the EULA:

Apps Centre may, at its own discretion and for its causes, include within the Website any links for third party websites, advertisements or links for applications ("Third Party Content"). Apps Centre does not warrant for Third Party Content or availability thereof nor does it endorse it.

This means to us that you are better off not using any of its services and not clicking on any potentially harmful third-party advertisements. Since schemers might exploit this search engine and pose as a third party, they might lure you into visiting their website, and that might get you more malware infections onto your computer, to say the least. But you might also be scammed other ways by landing on malicious websites. If you want peace of mind, you should delete Searchomepage.com as soon as possible.

In order to free your system of the potential risks the presence of this search engine might hold, you need to reset your browsers. That should take care of the unwanted browser extension, too. If the malware scanner finds any other infection, you should not hesitate to act. We recommend that you download and install an authentic antimalware program that will automatically eliminate all issues that are challenging your operating system right now and protect it from further attacks.
