Polarity Technologies LTD has introduced Search.searchfreedm.com searching network. However, under the conditions that this platform describes, users should not be pleased to use it. Search.searchfreedm.com is labeled as a browser hijacker. Its obsessive routine to invade browsers does not go unnoticed. If your home and new tab pages, default search providers are all united to transfer you to Search.searchfreedm.com, your system has become a victim of a browser hijacker. These parasites can reach devices in stealthy ways, but sometimes, Internet users can slip and invite them. Free Driver Maps is the browser extension that you can voluntarily download from its official page. As a consequence of including this extension among your active add-ons, you will give permission to make alterations to your settings. Search.searchfreedm.com will obstruct the way you are used to browse. How? By constantly finding ways to promote its partners and generate web traffic.

Clarification of Search.searchfreedm.com virus

Search.searchfreedm.com virus will be interested in making the same changes that all browser hijackers are after. They all aspire to make modifications to browser settings and force users to be introduced to Search.searchfreedm.com instead of their individually selected preferences. To make sure that victims won’t be able to reverse these modifications, browser hijackers protect them. These viruses can even block access to their rivals: other search engines like Google or Bing. Instead of being welcomed with the interface of Google, users will be redirected to Search.searchfreedm.com. As the matter of fact, automatic redirection can not only lead to the questionable search platform, but to its partners.

Search.searchfreedm.com and its Free Driver Maps browser extension is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. The EULA document suggests these plugins will function on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari. However, when we accessed Freedrivermaps.com, we were prevented from downloading it with the statement: Sorry, our software isn’t currently supported on this browser. We are using Safari, which means, that clients of this application might be protected from Free Driver Maps add-on.

Search.searchfreedm.com virus and its creators, Polarity, explicitly inform their clients that they do not intend to be liable for the content they accept to promote. They express sole interest in profit they receive due to pay-per-click schemes and web traffic generation. Even though this goal is not identified straightforwardly, we are able to read between the lines. For any inconsistencies with the promoted software applications, technical support services, lotteries, advertisements or other content that is demonstrated thanks to Search.searchfreedm.com virus, Polarity will show no signs of accountability.

Browser hijacker also won’t fail to take advantage of its position by attempting to collect information about their clients, next to the activity of showing potentially dangerous content. If you wish to secure your browsing and privacy, you should eliminate Search.searchfreedm.com virus as soon as you get the chance. Follow suggestions below to clean your system from an infection with a browser hijacker.

Sources of Search.searchfreedm.com virus

There are two the most obvious ways to become infected with Search.searchfreedm.com. It can hijack your browsers because you gave a permission for it by installing Free Driver Maps that provides maps, driving directions and weather forecasts. Once installed, browser extension will not hesitate to make modifications to browsers’ settings and provide other dubious, search-related services. On the other hand, the arrival of Search.searchfreedm.com virus might be a little more secretive. Free Driver Maps can be included as a part of another installation process. Usually, the lists of recommended software are filled with programs that nobody wishes to voluntarily download. Sneaky toolbars that are completely non-essential are offered very frequently.
