Rapid-Searcher.com Search

You may find Rapid-Searcher.com Search engine set as the default search provider and the home page of your web browsers after installing software from softonfire.com. The clandestine browser hijacker can affect your browsers silently after you download freeware form other suspicious or unreliable sources as well. Overall, you should have no doubts that the search engine is malicious if it takes over the browsers without your knowledge, regardless of the path it uses. Note that in some cases you could be introduced to the search engine as a reliable search provider which can provide you links to the best services. You should pay little attention to the promotion and focus on the research/reviews provided by the parties unrelated to the browser hijacker. All in all, if it has already been infiltrated onto the computer, we advise that you remove Rapid-Searcher.com Search as soon as possible.

Browser hijackers are meant to promote potentially unreliable services and to expose targeted computer users to potentially unreliable search tools, advertisements and links. Just like its clones best-found.com, speed-find.com and quick-seeker.com, Rapid-Searcher.com Search is a browser hijacker which can redirect you to google.com/search or images.yahoo.com and provide links to YahooMail, Hotmail, Gmail, ViaMichelin, Dropbox and various other services. Even though these links are authentic and lead to authentic, reputable sites, you still should not think that its services are harmless. The fact that the search engine may be provided to you against your wishes and is difficult to remove is enough to treat it as a malicious computer infection which should be deleted from the computer. Note that this indicates that the program could have entered the PC with other malware as well.

You should delete Rapid-Searcher.com Search as soon as you notice that your browser settings have been modified without your authorization. Such activity is linked to malignant computer infections, and you definitely should not keep them running on your personal computer. Click the download button below to acquire a free malware scanner which will let you know which computer infections are running on the operating system.

Needless to say, it is best if you use automatic malware detection and removal software to delete the discovered threats. Note that authentic security software will not be able to modify your browser settings, and so you should use the instructions below to delete the undesirable search provider from all affected browsers.
