You certainly will not want the kind of safety offered by SafetySearch. SafetySearch is adware or Potentially Unwanted Program that was created by Intriguing Apps. SafetySearch allegedly protects your navigation by issuing alerts when you try to access compromised websites. If it were true, SafetySearch could help you avoid bad infections. Regretfully, all SafetySearch does is to display its sponsored advertisement in the form of coupons, banners, interstitial ads, etc. SafetySearch may collect information and send it to third parties to be used on the improvement of the advertising to be displayed on your machine. Once detected on your computer, SafetySearch should be deleted as soon as the computer user can get the help of an anti-adware tool.
