Secure-finder.org is presented to Web surfers as a more secure and reliable alternative to giants like Bing.com and Google.com. Secure-finder.org claims to offer search functionality to its users that do not include tracking cookies as opposed to the traditional search experience on competing services. Computer users that like the idea behind Secure-finder.org are offered to install a browser extension to their browser and make sure they are presented with search suggestions by Secure-finder.org in their search bar and Omnibox. The Secure-finder.org extension is available for Safari, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Web surfers that install the Secure-finder.org extension should make sure to read the F.A.Q. section and the terms of service agreement.
Secure Finder claims to make an effort at keeping your searches private, does not save search history, does not track you and does not send data about your PC and browser to others. However, we find that hard to believe since users are redirected to Plusnetwork.com as soon as they enter keywords in the search field at Secure-finder.org and hit the 'Enter' button. Plusnetwork.com has been mentioned in half a dozen cases of browser hijacking, and there emerged many redirect gateways in January 2017 that lead users to Plusnetwork.com. We can name a few such as Search.rapidserach.com, Tech-connect.biz, and Web-start.org. If Secure-finder.org does not send your search queries to other pages, there should be no reason to be redirected to Plusnetwork.com.
The statements at Secure-finder.org and the behavior of the associated extension show that users are provided with misleading information. Instead of security and search results on Secure-finder.org Web surfers are provided with links on a site with a questionable reputation. Also, the Secure-finder.org extension may collect data like your bookmarks collection, IP address, OS version and browser type to help advertisers on Plusnetwork.com recognize you and load personalized commercials. The program linked to Secure-finder.org and Plusnetwork.com is deemed as a browser hijacker that you might want to be removed from your PC. Software that affects your browser in an unwanted way can be deleted with the help of a reliable anti-malware utility safely.
