Search Private by Searchprivate.org
Search Private by Search.org is a browser hijacker found on http://www.searchprivat.org/ and in the Google Chrome Store.
If the Web browser of a machine is getting redirected to the get.searchprivate.org website constantly, then it is highly likely that the computer has this adware installed. The redirection is caused by the presence of the Search Private browser hijacker on the affected computer. One of the ways this software is distributed is through free software bundles downloaded from unofficial or in this case, even official sources. There are cases where software bundles do not list the whole contents of what they have to off so that users may find Search Private installed on their machines regardless of their choices during the setup process and without their knowledge.
Once Search Private is installed, unwanted pop-ups and advertisements will show up on the Web pages frequented by the user. The ads are focused on promoting the further installation of more software from questionable sources, such as optimization utilities, browser toolbars and so forth. Underneath it is all a method the publisher is using to generate income in a pay-per-click way. Fortunately, the symptoms of the Search Privat's presence on a computer are easy to spot: Users may see messages in the browser status bar, such as 'Connected to get.searchprivate.org,' 'Waiting for get.searchprivate.org,' 'Read get.searchprivate.org,' 'Transferring data from get.searchprivate.org' and 'Looking up get.searchprivate.org.'
Other commonly seen symptoms include advertisement banners injected inside Web pages frequented or visited by the users, random text within pages being hyperlinked, browser pop-ups that show up recommending other software and fake updates and
the installation of more adware without the knowledge of the user.
Users are advised to remove Search Private from their computers as soon as possible, potentially through the use of a good security suite and the uninstallation of any Search Private instances.
