ZenSearch.com

ZenSearch.com is a search engine that replaces your default one when the potentially unwanted program ZenSearch is installed on your computer. When this happens, a new toolbar is added and your homepage and new tab page get changed to ZenSearch.com. While it’s made clear what will happen to your web browser settings once it is installed, the fact of the matter is that ZenSearch.com search results could contain more sponsored results than one of the most popular search engines in the world. If you want to remove ZenSearch.com, you can do it easily.

While it's more common to get it from freeware bundles, it’s not hard to download this free program from its official website. Before you install it, you’re even warned that ZenSearch.com will take the place of your default search engine and so on. While this does lend some credibility to the website, newest versions of Google Chrome block the setup file from running, because it could be dangerous to your system. We absolutely believe you should remove it.

If you haven’t ever visited ZenSearch.com on purpose, yet it’s all over your web browser, chances are that it was installed on your system in a freeware bundle. Don’t worry, it wasn’t hidden somewhere in the installation files, ZenSearch did ask your permission to be installed. You probably didn’t pay attention and kept clicking Next, giving nominal permission to install it. Once installed on your system through a bundle, it changes your web settings, installing a toolbar on the way. If you can’t remember getting it, this could be quite confusing and annoying. Don’t worry; it isn’t hard to remove.

While ZenSearch.com is not a big security threat, its search results include a lot of sponsored content from third parties.

Nevertheless, if you’re not careful, you could catch adware or even dangerous threats on these third-party websites. Remove ZenSearch.com to prevent any problems in the future.
