Any Search Manager is a malicious parasite that aims to harm your computer. This utility is promoted as useful and promises to make your web searches easier.

After Anysearchmanager establishes itself on your browser, the hijacker will move on to collect important data on your web activities – browsing history, habits, search results, etc. With such information, it will be capable of generating numerous targeted adverts and pop-ups, that the user is most likely to click on.

The probable reason behind your hijacked browser is your lack of diligence while browsing the internet. Browser hijackers can’t just hack their way on your computer.

The thing is, users are known to opt for the option that will save them time. Thus, they choose to follow a Quick installation process. It is a big mistake.

Instead, we recommend opting for Custom or Advanced mode in the Setup Wizard. This will give you the power to choose which applications and programs can have access to your PC and which can’t. Often, the additional software turns out to be hidden malware in disguise. So, make sure you uncheck any boxes next to such software. It will save you a lot of trouble dealing in the future and you’ll also avoid a possible cyber infection.

A hijacked browser means a certain danger for your online privacy and security. If you notice that your browser has been infected by this malicious parasite, you must not waste time! Proceed with its immediate removal before it is too late! Ads might not seem to be capable of doing anything dangerous, but the thing is, you never know what threat lurks behind them! By clicking on them, you may get redirected to infected third-party websites that seek to harm your PC.

Also, the number of ads and pop-ups will increase drastically over time, which means that your browser will start crashing and freezing until at some point it will get so overloaded with advertisement content, that it will stop working altogether.
