By GoldSparrow in Potentially Unwanted Programs

The Search Awesome browser extension is associated with the Searchawesome.net website, and it may be delivered to your PC as a bundled app. The Search Awesome extension is said to improve the search results on engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. As its name suggests, users are given more social-related results, and events covered in social media are prioritized when you use an online search engine. The Search Awesome software is promoted to be compatible with networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. Avid social media users are likely to be interested in what the Search Awesome software has to offer, but you should take into consideration that the app is an ad-supported product and alters the way your Internet clients loads pages.

That means Search Awesome might use information like your Internet history, recently downloaded files and input on Google, Bing, and Yahoo to determine what type of commercials may be appealing to you. Additionally, Search Awesome might change the way your new tab page looks and provide you with a new search engine that is designed to pull data from networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. The Search Awesome program may use APIs to connect to Amazon, Yelp, Trip Advisor, and eBay and generated targeted advertisements. You may want to read the Terms of Use and Privacy Agreement posted on Searchawesome.net/privacy and Searchawesome.net/terms-of-service. When you add the Search Awesome extension to your browser, you may be welcomed to allow Search Awesome share comments, images and videos on your behalf. PC users are advised to explore the 'Advanced' option in free software bundles and make sure they are installing only the apps needed because Search Awesome was reported of browser hijacking in the past. The Search Awesome app may add sponsored search results to the list of links generated by Google, Bing and Yahoo. If you are not comfortable with using Search Awesome and its ads, you may want to remove it using a reliable anti-spyware scanner.
