The 'Snowball Sam Search' software is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Tightrope Interactive, Inc. We have seen this extension redirect PC users via Search.findwide.com to a customized version of Yahoo. You may want to know that Search.findwide.com is related to a browser hijacker called FindWide that we have in our database since April 2013. Both Search.snowballsam.com and Search.findwide.com lead users to promotions on Search.Yahoo.com, and the Snowball Sam Search extension may be used to allow marketers push targeted commercials to users more accurately. The Snowball Sam Search extension may intercept search queries on rivaling search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and Yandex so that it can redirect you to Search.findwide.com and then to Yahoo.
The Snowball Sam Search New Tab page may include links to Play.snowballsam.com, Tv.snowballsam.com, Radio.snowballsam.com, and Watch.snowballsam.com that offer access to content from third parties. You should note that the Snowball Sam Search needs access to your settings for cookies, JavaScript, plugins, microphone, geolocation and camera. There is no reason for you to grant such extensive privileges to the Snowball Sam Search considering you are provided with a new tab page and a search only. The company behind the Snowball Sam Search might exploit the privileges given to their product and deploy personalized commercials related to your recent activity online and geographical location. It may be best to remove the Snowball Sam Search extension with the help of a trusted anti-spyware suite.
