Searchawesome Infection Description

Searchawesome is one of the potentially unwanted programs  or PUPs that is promoted  as a tool that provides better browsing experience and generates better search results. Specifically, it is also classified  as an adware infection because of its tendencies to generate huge amount of ads that will annoy the users. Basically, it asks to gain access to your social media accounts and if you are careless enough to allow it, it will supposedly show you more relevant search results by including what your social media friends have shared with you.

Basically, this is what it wants you to think it does into your computer and most specifically to your browser. But in reality, what it does is to try to expose you to as many adverts as much possible because that is how it generates money. The truth is, it’s not exactly a serious infection because it does not directly harm your computer but it is capable of exposing you to malicious content, which could lead to a more serious contamination. We ighly recommend you completely eliminate the Searchawesome virus and make sure you install free programs more  cautiously and attentively from now on.
 

How did it sneak into your computer?

The adware could have been installed by you with all your your consent willingly. Maybe you thought it was a very  useful extension to have, also  it could have been added to freeware as an extra offer which is  more likely what happens. In most cases, you were installing freeware that had this adware added to it as an extra offer, and you did not notice. This usually happens when users opt to use the Default settings during installation; the added offers are not visible there. For that reason, you need to opt the Advanced or Custom settings because it will allow you to see what has been added into the list, and will also permit you to deselect everything that’s useless and unknown to you. Unchecking a few boxes would take seconds, and is definitely much less time than it would to remove Searchawesome virus or similar.
 

How does it work in your computer?

Once the extension is installed into your computer, it will make modifications to your browser settings and ask to access your social media as well. So some random extension automatically installs without your consent and then asks to get access to your private data, that already should raise a red flag in your head so take note of that. It definitely would insert stuff your friends have shared into your search results. To some it might seem useful but it does much more than that. It will basically  insert advertisements and expose you to sponsored content constantly that could be so annoying. And the only way to stop it is to completely eliminate Searchawesome virus, which you probably want to do anyway. After, you should avoid from engaging with any of the advertisements popping out  or sent to you because not all of them will be safe. Some could lead you to malicious and dangerous contents, and that could result in you obtaining infectious malware. This would be why it is wiser to  remove Searchawesome virus.
