Search.ueep.com - How to remove

Search.ueep.com is a browser hijacker that installs to random computer systems bundled with freeware applications. It is a common practice for the creators of new programs to promote them by bundling with some applications that are already popular. The bad part about it is that usually the user doesn’t receive any notification that Search.ueep.com is going to be installed. Although it is possible to see it at one of the steps of installation, if you don’t deselect this option, the program is downloaded to your computer automatically.

Once inside Search.ueep.com becomes your homepage despite of which website you have set as your homepage before. The program will change your default search engine too. Although the latter search engine performs all functions of a search tool, it is not designed or promoted the same way as, for example, Google or Yahoo!. First of all, it gets to your computer using unfair methods and makes modifications to your browsers settings without your permission. Second, it alters your search results by mixing in commercial websites and this way making your searches very inaccurate. The links that are advertised are not marked any different than those relevant to your search. Besides, it can add some infected links to your search results or redirect you to malicious websites where you can get malware infiltrated to your computer.
