About Search.searchtp.com Browser Hijacker

Search.searchtp.com is a sneaky snail. Once it crawls into your PC, it does not ask for your permission to change the default settings of your browsers such as the homepage, search engine and a new tab page. This comes as a surprise you have not wished for. But once it takes place, it is difficult to revert your web browser (or browsers) to the previous state. It’s like you were given a present you loath but you cannot give it back. In the latter case you can simply get rid of it in some other ways like throwing it in the trash, etc. But in the case of Search.searchtp.com infection, the issue is a little more difficult and complex. But for now, let us describe the effects of Search.searchtp.com browser extension in detail.

Search.searchtp.com extension is an application which is developed to display advertising content. The developers of this app are in cahoots with the advertisers, which carries a lot of suspicion about their activities. These entities are generally referred to as 3rd parties or 3rd party advertisers. They generate advertising content Search.searchtp.com displays. The thing is that this add-on, as all of the browser hijackers, is associated with the display of scam advertising content, which does not only render fake offers but also redirect to questionable domains. And this is the thing you cannot tolerate. There is something more about Search.searchtp.com you need to know. This rogue app is embedded data tracking features in order to be able to track your browsing history and not only history but also your real-time online surfing. The data gathered serves as a spice 3rd party uses to flavor (i.e. customize) the dishes (i.e. advertisements) it brings you even you haven’t ordered anything. It will make sure to feed you with its junk adds till your belly pops out and you are stuffed with them so that you want to throw up.

Even though Search.searchtp.com plug-in reroutes you to search.yahoo.com, it is not and cannot be affiliated with this legitimate search engine. Yahoo Search does not sponsor scams nor does it make your computer dull or your browser unresponsive.

How does Search.searchtp.com Browser Hijacker Perch on Your Computer?

Tracker Package extension (compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer) is aimed to spread Search.searchtp.com hijacker. The logo and the title of this app are placed below the upper toolbar on the main search page of search.searchtp.com. Tracker Package extension is advertised on its official website at the address trackerpackage.com. It is said to provide the service of free tracking of your packages, accessing all the major carriers in one click. But the truth is that in order this questionably useful app was free, it is bundled with Search.searchtp.com. Other programs, except for TrackerPackage, can also distribute this browser hijacker. These distributors encompass such apps as file converters, media players, etc. If their installers are left bundled during the procedure of installation, the user sets Search.searchtp.com on one’s PC up inadvertently. To unbundle the free app, which is attached PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), the user must set the installation wizard in the Advanced (Custom) settings. The bad news is that practically all freeware or shareware is bundled. The good news is that it can be unbundled.
