We recommend downloading SpyHunter to remove harmful programs for you. Some threats reinstall themselves if you don't delete their core files. Additionally, some updates for programs and applications like uTorrent, Adobe and Java may also have the Ad-Aware Secure Search added as a bonus elements so you may want to keep that in mind when updating your software. For instance, if you install other Ad-Aware products, Ad-Aware Secure Search may be added to their installers as a bonus browser tool that is likely under an “opt-out” clause in the installer (you need to opt-out of it if you don’t want to install it with the main program). How Ad-Aware Secure Search may get installedĪs we said, the browser add-on is in the Google Chrome Store but many users may also get it from an installation bundle. The Ad-Aware Secure Search app itself is legitimate and is not intended to lead to any of this but the components that it may place in your browser may not be all that helpful which, in turn, could be what makes the situation more problematic. However, there are undoubtedly many web addresses out there that may not be all that reliable or safe and landing on them could sometimes lead to additional issues – you may get more unwanted apps added to your browser, you may get misled into buying products that are of low-quality and you may even become more exposed to hacker attacks. In most cases, this would simply annoy the user rather than cause any real problem. Though this won’t really harm your computer directly, having such components of your browsers altered and replaced with new and unknown tools may be a potential hazard.įor instance, sometimes the results you may get from using the new search engine added to your browser may not be well optimized and you may get presented with sites and pages that aren’t really relevant to what you’ve been looking for and are instead filled with ads and promotional materials that you aren’t really interested in. However, once you install Ad-Aware Secure Search in the browser, your search engine would likely get replaced without you getting asked for your permission and the same may happen to the new-tab page address of your browser as well as to its homepage.
