Search.searchlsp.com virus - How to remove

Search.searchlsp.com or Live Sports Player Search is a browser hijacker by Safer Browser. It is targeted at sports fans and, especially, the football fans as it even contains a shortcut to the official site of UEFA on the upper toolbar of the main page of its search engine. At the moment, when the European Football championships has gotten into full swing, it is pretty clever of Search.searchlsp.com to add this icon. Additionally, it includes shortcuts to Sport News, Sport Schedules, Scores and has an additional search bar on the top left corner. All this is said to serve as an online optimizer for sport lovers. But there are some features of Live Sports Player Search that even the craziest sports fans do not tolerate.

About Search.searchlsp.com Browser Hijacker

Search.searchlsp.com displays modified search results of Yahoo Search in a new tab. So it gives little actual benefit to the end user. Once this browser extension gets on your computer it does not ask for your permission to replace your default homepage and search engine with search.searchlsp.com. There is no point in trying to get back to the previous settings by performing manual restoration. The settings will be deleted the next time you launch your web browser, be it Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or any other. This is because of the system changes implemented by Search.searchlsp.com plug-in. It adds registry entries and drops junk files onto your computer’s system.

This browser add-on carries out a certain mission it has been designed for. It can be summarized into one simple phrase – the generation of PPC (pay-per-click) revenue for its developers. The scheme is quite standard. Search.searchlsp.com displays the advertising content of its client – the 3rd party. Nor does it care for the quality of that content, neither it cares for its security. The only thing it does care for is the clicks. This malicious app goes so far as to track your browsing and sell the collected data to 3rd party so that they will be able to present you with personalized ads. Again, the websites incorporated in search results of Search.searchlsp.com and the ads it displays on legitimate websites, blocking the native advertisements, are potentially unsafe. So, either way, you need to remove this program from your computer.

How does Search.searchlsp.com Browser Hijacker Infect Your Computer?

Search.searchlsp.com browser hijacker is merged with popular free downloads into one program file which is presented as the sole application. This stealthy technique of software installation is generally known as ‘‘bundling’’. The list of the programs to which this hijacker can be added is endless. It includes such apps as Flash Players, PDF creators, etc. But the software bundle can be unbundled. To do that choose Advanced/Custom setup mode and uncheck the pre-checked PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) going trough the list of additional installs.

Search.searchlsp.com PUP can be removed instantly, if Spyhunter or Malwarebytes malware removal tools are applied.
