If you click the Info link on the main search page of Searchespro.com extension, you will get redirected to info.searchespro.com website, which displays you nothing more than a green kite among two blue clouds. The extension has the entire website dedicated to cookies – the tracking technologies. There is also the link to the Privacy Policy, which is to be read before using the add-on, because it provides a great deal of good-to-know information, which can help you decide whether you really want to use the Searchespro.com extension.

Looking into the Terms of Using Searchespro.com Application

The Privacy Policy of Searchespro.com add-on describes the possible dangers of using the plug-in. If you are a vigilant reader of documentation, it will be not difficult to spot the hijackware nature of Searchespro.com plug-in. First, there is a great deal of declarations regarding the cooperation with the 3rd parties. As we come to know, these third-parties are from the online advertising business. And, as it can be assumed from the following statements, the developers of Searchespro.com module granted all the rights to third parties to manipulate your online privacy:

We may collect or allow third parties to collect, through blocks of code called “pixels” or “web beacons”, certain information about you and send it to our servers and to our partners.

These tracking technologies

provide you with personalized content which […] include […] online ads or other marketing materials on or through the Software & Services and on third party websites and properties.

Typically, NPII (non-personally identifiable information) is gathered by many of the functional software providers. But, as regards Searchespro.com program, it is neither functional (redirecting to the altered search results of Bing) nor it limits oneself by collecting strictly the non-personal information. In fact, this extension, which takes the place of your default homepage, can even record your sensitive credentials:

the data collected may include PII […] such as email addresses, social security numbers, credit card numbers, login information etc.
‘[…] the Company provides […] third parties with […] tools’ which ‘may give these third parties the ability to access, collect, store and/or share your information – both PII and non-personally identifiable information.’ […] ‘we do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to such Third Party Content and Services […]’

It is also stated in the Privacy Policy that the software by ClientConnect Ltd. does not recognize the signals sent by DNT (Do Not Track) feature, which can be configured in certain web browsers. Which means that, even if you have indicated that you do not wish to be followed, your request will be disregarded anyway. All things considered, Searchespro.com browser hijacker is better to be removed from your PC.
