Please continue reading to learn how to delete Search-guru.com and to find out more about its infiltration onto your personal computer.

As research shows, computer users usually choose Search-guru.com as a new default search provider themselves through the Add Search button located on the search engine. The question is – how did you land on this search engine? It is possible that you have been routed to it after clicking a link provider by yet another unreliable search engine. You could have been led to the page after clicking on a random link or an online advertisement as well. Unfortunately, Search-guru.com does not look that suspicious. It provides you with Web, Images, Video and News search modules. Additionally, it even presents you with a link to Gmail. We do not recommend using this link because there is a possibility that tracking cookies related to the provider will collect information you type. Note that tracking cookies could be installed even if you visit websites promoted by the search provider once.

Since there is a great possibility that advertisements provided by Search-guru.com will route you to corrupted websites and will not present you with any authentic or reliable information, we suggest you remove it from your browsers. In order to remove Search-guru.com browser hijacker from the system successfully you need to delete all of the components linked to the threat from the system.
