SearchAnyGame

No matter what features SearchAnyGame may boast having, the truth is that the primary purpose of the application is to drive artificial traffic towards a fake search engine. A lot of times, users do not download and install applications such as SearchAnyGame willingly. Instead, these browser hijackers employ various dubious distribution techniques designed to be as deceptive as possible. One of the most used techniques is called 'bundling' - when the option to remove the installation of the browser hijacker application is hidden beneath several menu layers of the installation process of another freeware program.

As for SearchAnyGame, when it gets installed, it changes the homepage, new page tab, and the default search engine of the browser to open feed.searchanygame.com immediately. As a result, by simply opening the browser, traffic is being generated for the promoted address. Any search query conducted in the affected browser will be redirected through feed.searchanygame.com, but, by itself, the engine lacks the ability to produce search results. That is why the search query is redirected once again, but this time through search.yahoo.com, a legitimate search engine.

Users who notice signs that SearchAnyGame may be installed on their computers should take the necessary actions to erase it as soon as possible. Not only will this Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) prevent them from reverting the affected browser settings to their previous state, but it may also track and collect various browsing and system data.
