Addonsearch.net

The Addonsearch.net search engine is a basic tool that is likely affiliated with the presence of a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) on your computer. Fortunately, PUPs do not pose a threat either to your system’s health or the security of your data.

It is likely that the PUP associated with the Addonsearch.net site is a dodgy Web browser extension you may have installed because it promised to provide you with some great features. However, many shady Web browser extensions only exist to help dodgy sites like the Addonsearch.net generate more traffic. The dubious Web browser extension will alter your system’s settings to set the Addonsearch.net site as your new default tab page. This is a typical PUP behavior. The searches executed via the Addonsearch.net site may not deliver the desired results. This is due to the fact that shady search engines like Addonsearch.net are likely to promote sponsored content as first search results instead of providing users with the organic results of their search.

Users who view the Addonsearch.net site whenever they open a new tab page have likely installed a PUP in the shape of a shady Web browser extension on their computers. You can locate and eliminate the PUP in question easily with the help of a reputable anti-virus tool.
