Searchmulty.com

We believe those users who say that Searchmulty.com has been set on their browsers without permission because it has been discovered by our experienced specialists that its appearance is closely associated with the installation of a browser extension or an application promoting it. Most probably, it is some kind of potentially unwanted program, specialists say. Hundreds of users cannot explain why there is such an application installed on their PCs because they are often spread in software bundles and enter users’ PCs without permission. We do not think that the program/extension linked to this search provider is a huge threat that cannot be removed from the system normally, so we suspect it will not be an impossible task to erase it manually and thus get rid of Searchmulty.com. Users who do not know whether or not they should keep Searchmulty.com set should eliminate it ASAP, in our opinion. Believe us; Searchmulty.com is just an ordinary search tool that, potentially, has more drawbacks than benefits, so we would recommend using an ordinary search provider for your web searches instead. You will be free to set the tool you like after the Searchmulty.com removal.

Searchmulty.com can affect all popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, but we cannot say exactly what changes you will find applied to your browsers because it might change a homepage, a default search provider, or even both of them. What we know for sure is that you should not trust Searchmulty.com blindly despite its legitimate-looking interface. As research conducted by our specialists has shown, the search provider is based on the Yahoo (search.yahoo.com) search provider. As a consequence, Yahoo search results will be displayed to you if you enter any search query into the search tool’s search box and click the Search button. You could also access a bunch of popular websites, services, and online stores, including YouTube, Yahoo!, Etsy, Asos, eBay, IKEA, and many others from the search tool’s start page. The search tool does look beneficial, but we, unfortunately, cannot confirm that it is one of those search tools that can be used without fear every day. Suspicious search tools that change browsers’ settings without permission often provide users with untrustworthy third-party links. We cannot promise that Searchmulty.com will not display them to you too. We do not say that all third-party links are malicious, but you should still be very cautious because you might find yourself on a malicious website after clicking on such a link once. It would be best that you stop using search tools that have a potential to show untrustworthy links/sponsored search results completely.

What else you should know about Searchmulty.com is that it collects data about users automatically. We have checked its Privacy Policy for you, and, unfortunately, we do not like what we have found there. It has turned out that the search provider may collect both anonymous and personally-identifiable information. Speaking about the automatically-captured non-personal information, it will record details from your computer/device when you use the service. For example, login times and link clicks. What about the personal information, it could not access it without your permission, so if you still decide to keep Searchmulty.com set and use it as your default search tool, you should at least not provide any personal details – they will all be recorded. Usually, users provide personal information by entering it in the search box or provide it directly to customer support specialists. We would not do that if we were you because we have some doubts about the trustworthiness of this search tool.

As mentioned, you most likely see Searchmulty.com set on your browser because an application promoting this search tool has been installed on your computer. We would not be surprised at all if you told us that you know nothing about that because various potentially unwanted applications do not wait for permission to enter users’ systems these days. Since suspicious software is often spread bundled, you should be very careful with new software you install on your computer. Keeping security software installed on the system is also a must – it will help you to protect your system against malware and prevent unauthorized changes suspicious software often tries to apply.
