The SpicySEARCH browser extension from h[tt]ps://cp.spicystart[.]com/ is promoted as new tab replacement that allows Web surfers to benefit from the h[tt]ps://spicystart[.]com/ search services provider. The SpicySEARCH New Tab offers an integrated search field by h[tt]ps://spicystart[.]com/ and changes your default search engine to h[tt]p://status77.ampxsearch[.]com/. Both Web portals function as search services providers and feature separate Terms of Use and Privacy Agreements. The documentation associated with h[tt]ps://spicystart[.]com/ can be found at h[tt]ps://spicystart[.]com/index.php?a=tos and h[tt]ps://spicystart[.]com/index.php?a=privacy.

Web surfers may find the Spicystart.com Web portal relatively useful and wish to install the SpicySEARCH browser extension from h[tt]ps://chrome.google[.]com/webstore/detail/spicysearch/fkhmikadkeefioneejecgmdggfmekfak that is its official product page on the Chrome Web Store. The SpicySEARCH New Tab offers a single search filed and no quick links, as well as it lacks the functionality to support user customization. Search operations on the SpicySEARCH New Tab are redirected to h[tt]p://status77.ampxsearch[.]com/. The SpicySEARCH browser extension is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by security researchers, and it might be listed as 'Status77 Search' in the databases of AV developers. While h[tt]ps://spicystart[.]com/ offers encrypted connection, the 'Status77 Search' gateway does not. That means data exchange with h[tt]p://status77.ampxsearch[.]com/ can be read and altered by third parties without your knowledge. Many Web users that may not be comfortable with how the SpicySEARCH/Status77 Search New Tab works can remove it with the help of a trusted cyber security solution.
