Searchgle.com

Do you consider setting Searchgle.com as your homepage and default search engine? Do not hurry to do so because this search provider is not trustworthy, and it can even put your system in danger. Searchgle.com is not a good search tool, so if you have not set it on your browsers, you should definitely not do that. If Searchgle.com is already set as your homepage and search engine, you will have to remove it no matter you have changed your browsers’ settings willingly or it has entered your PC and applied those changes without your permission. Of course, the majority of users cannot explain how and when this search tool has been set, so we believe that it sneaks onto computers without a user’s consent in most cases. Actually, we have not found this surprising at all because Searchgle.com is known to be a part of a browser hijacker infection. Remove Searchgle.com and then you could set a more trustworthy search engine instead of it. You will be explained further in this article why you have to remove Searchgle.com from your browsers and how to do that easily, so read this text from beginning to end.

Even though Searchgle.com does not seem to be a bad search engine at all, you will immediately notice advertisements on its main page. They might promote software, items, games, and other services. Do not click on any of those ads even though you find them appealing because it is impossible to say in advance where you will be taken to after doing that. According to security specialists, users might even be taken to websites promoting untrustworthy software or having bad external links. Unfortunately, search results provided by Searchgle.com cannot be fully trusted either because there might be ads inserted among ordinary search results too. They do not differ from these trustworthy search results, but they might also take users to untrustworthy third-party websites if people click on them. You cannot remove those ads from the start page of Searchgle.com and the search results page it opens after you enter a search query, but you can remove Searchgle.com from all your browsers to make sure that you no longer see these ads, and we suggest doing that ASAP.

Even though it is impossible to access EULA and Privacy Policy of Searchgle.com (it might not even have these documents), specialists working at pcthreat.com are 99% sure that this search tool will track users in order to find out more about their Internet browsing activity. Like other similar untrustworthy search tools, Searchgle.com should record your search queries, links you click, IP address, and a bunch of other details that might reveal more about your interests. If Searchgle.com really gathers information about users as we suspect, it will definitely share it with third parties, which means that you might experience privacy-related problems too. Delete Searchgle.com before it is too late and set a new reliable search tool.

We cannot say much about the distribution of Searchgle.com because it is not that easy to make a conclusion about its dissemination when it is not popular yet. Of course, there is no doubt that it enters computers without permission. According to researchers at pcthreat.com, the most likely scenario is that it travels bundled with other applications. People who tend to download software from various third-party websites and do not have a security tool installed on their computers infect their systems the most frequently. If you recognize yourself, we are not surprised at all that the Searchgle.com browser hijacker has managed to enter your PC.

There are two ways to remove Searchgle.com from your computer: a) you can reset your browsers to their default settings or b) you can scan your PC with an automatic malware remover. If you have never tried erasing a browser hijacker before, we suggest employing the second method. A reliable application, such as SpyHunter, will delete all other threats that might be hiding on your system and working in the background as well.
