What is Search.seasytowatchtv2.com? And how does it work?

Search.seasytowatchtv2.com is a deceptive search engine created by none other than Polarity Technologies Ltd – a company that has a reputation o developing unwanted programs and browser hijackers. On first glance, you might not think that Search.seasytowatchtv2.com is a browser hijacker and a PUP because it seems to look like a typical search engine. However, just like all the browser extensions developed by this infamous company, Search.seasytowatchtv2.com is really a browser hijacker and a PUP.
This browser hijacker will immediately change the settings in the browsers of the infected computer the moment it is installed. These changes will affect the default search engine, new tab page as well as the homepage. Aside from that, this dubious program also injects tracking cookies to be able to monitor users’ browsing habits and gather non-personally identifiable information which may be shared with its affiliated companies. This clearly shows how Search.seasytowatchtv2.com can affect your privacy in a negative way so it’s best to remove it before it does any further damage to your information. However, your information is not the only thing that’s at risk here as this browser hijacker could also redirect you to suspicious websites – some of which might be malware-infested – so you need to avoid clicking any of the ads it displays while browsing the web.
