PCH Search and Win Toolbar Image
PCH Search is a questionable search engine and has appeared to be an adware threat that displays random advertisements when loaded. Technically called PCH Search & Win, this questionable site and toolbar may install on a computer without the consent of the computer user. Usually this takes place when shareware or freeware applications are downloaded and installed. Once loaded, PCH Search & Win may start to change your default home page and default search engine to point to a PCH Search & Win home page. Removal of the PCH Search & Win and toolbars may require the use of an antispyware application.
