Desktop Search

Desktop Search is advertised as a free, easy to use, safe browsing tool that will help you surf the web risk-free. Unfortunately, these promises have little weight, and there is a great chance that you will encounter many virtual security threats if you continue trusting this application. Some users are quick to realize that this program is unreliable and deserves removal. However, most users do not figure out that they need to remove Desktop Search until much later. The truth is that the sooner you delete this program from your operating system, the fewer security issues you are likely to encounter.

After researching Desktop Search, it became obvious that this is an advertisement-supported program. On top of that, this program is identical to SecureWeb, Security Alert, News Alert, and other ad-supported apps whose removal we have discussed in the past. Even though these programs might appear to offer different services, our researchers indicate that they are practically identical. This becomes clear if you check the websites promoting these programs, as all of them are identical. Desktopsearchapp.com is the website representing Desktop Search, but not all users have to delete Desktop Search after downloading it from this site.

Once installed, Desktop Search will add an easy-access shortcut to your Desktop. Our researchers have found that this program does not actually work as a functional search provider, and it is unlikely to offer any virtual security services. All of this is not that surprising considering that this advertisement-supported program is all about promoting third-party content. If you do not remove Desktop Search right away, you are likely to find pop-ups and banner advertisements whenever you surf the web. Instead of clicking on these ads, you should remove the ad-supported program injecting them. If you do not perform the removal timely, you could be exposed to highly unreliable advertisements.

If you research Desktop Search before downloading it from its official website, you might know that this program could present additional offers. Our researchers have found that it is more likely that other programs will be installed if you trust third-party installers. If you have downloaded this adware packaged with other programs, it is wise to analyze them to learn if you need to delete them. Desktop Search was created by Unique Solutions, but the programs installed along with this adware might be associated with much more unreliable parties. We advise removing Desktop Search-related software.

Do you have experience removing undesirable programs? If you do, you should have no trouble deleting Desktop Search from your Windows operating system. The guide below explains this operation one step at a time. Some users believe that it is enough to uninstall this adware to guarantee system’s protection? Unfortunately, these users could not be further from the truth. Your operating system will remain vulnerable unless you delete other existing threats and install authentic security software. Do you want to kill two stones with one bird? Install an automated malware remover, such as SpyHunter, that will delete malware and reinstate your virtual protection.
