Web surfers that need to complete academic and work tasks know that it is important to have a smart search engine at their disposal to achieve their goals. The Search Reveal application may claim to help Web surfers dig into the Internet and find what they need exactly. The motto of Search Reveal is 'Search Reveal provides you with essential widgets and improved search.' Understandably, many users may wish to test the merit of Search Reveal and install it from Searchreveal.com. You may find the Search Reveal application bundled with freeware installers as well. The Search Reveal application may change your search preferences to Search.searchreveal.com and make your browser load Home.searchreveal.com as your homepage. Security experts examined the Search Reveal app, and it became apparent that it may not provide improved search and widgets. Instead, Search Reveal may direct users to a custom-made version of Yahoo and generate advertisements on your screen.

Search.searchreveal.com may be used by marketers to collect raw data like your search terms and build better marketing strategies. The Search Reveal application is classified as a browser hijacker that has limited adware capabilities and is designed to prevent users from using third-party search providers. The Search Reveal browser hijacker may edit the values in your registry and DNS configuration to block your access to services from Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo. The ads by Search Reveal may not be distinguished by a slogan like 'Powered by Search Reveal' and may substitute the native ads on the pages you visit frequently. The Search Reveal browser hijacker may modify the engine in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox to generate ads on non-affiliated pages and perform redirects to sponsored sites. The Search Reveal browser hijacker works similarly to Elex and PieSearch, and you need a credible anti-spyware tool that can handle these types of cyber threats.
