The YSearchService app is developed by SuperWeb LLC and advertised as a browser enhancer that can speed up your online search activities. However, you may want to know that security experts perceive the YSearchService app as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. The YSearchService app is supported by advertisers that can use it to present you with banners, coupons, discounts, ad panels and pop-ups. The YSearchService browser enhancer may change your homepage, default search provider and modify the way search results are displayed to you. Users can encounter the YSearchService application listed as an additional component under the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option in freeware bundles. The YSearchService browser enhancer may not feature safe ads because it functions as a redirect-gateway to third parties. Moreover, the YSearchService app can use session cookies, JavaScript, beacons, web and DOM storage data to generate tailor-suited ads, and web surfers may see ads related to recent searches on Google and Bing. Security experts note that the ads by YSearchService can deprive web surfers of enjoyable online experience, and you might want to remove the YSearchService program from your PC by using a reliable anti-spyware tool.
