I wrote this article to help you remove Searchmulty.com. This Searchmulty.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Searchmulty.com is a website, presented as a useful thing to have on your browser. In reality, it does not provide advanced search functions, as claimed in its description. If this page constantly appears on your page, it means that somewhere on your PC lurks a nasty browser hijacker. This malicious parasite is more than capable of taking over any browser that you have on your computer and turning them into ad-displaying tools.

The hijacker’s ability to modify any settings it sees fit, definitely helps in this mission. Oftentimes, the symptoms of a browser hijacker infection include but are not limited to a replaced homepage and search engine with the Searchmulty.com website, shady apps and toolbars installations without your knowledge or permission, as well as an annoying advertisement bombardment that stops you from doing any kind of work online.

What’s interesting about such ads is that they’ll be specifically designed according to the information that they have on you. You see, this malicious parasite can monitor your online activity and steal your browsing history and search queries, so it can better customize the promoted content that your screen will be flooded with. That’s a serious security and privacy breach.

The most common means for a browser hijacker infection include spam emails and attachments, fake update messages, software bundling, torrent files and infected links and ads. Being cautious is key when it comes to maintaining a secure browsing experience. If any shady ads and pop-ups appear on your site, we advise you to steer clear of them, especially if they look too good to be true.

Crooks will try to trick you into clicking on infected content, most commonly exclusive offers, special deals, one-time-only coupons and discounts, etc. We highly recommend using only official and licensed sources to get updates, software downloads and for web browsing in general. Haste and negligence will get you no positives.

Browser hijackers are nasty parasites that aim to create revenue for their creators and the sponsored pages they will promote on victim’s browser. This is done through the pay-per-click scheme. But there is another way for them to profit as well. Thanks to this cyber parasite, hackers can get their hands on sensitive information like passwords, IP addresses, Login ID, bank account credentials, credit card numbers and more. Such data is very valuable, and they can sell it to other third-parties for profit.

Also, all those adverts that will flood your screen will eventually overload your browser. Sooner or later, it will start struggling to run properly, until it stops working entirely. Apart from the constant freezes and crashes of your browser, you may also experience slow internet connection. Having a browser hijacker on your PC brings nothing but trouble. If you want to return to a normal and ad-free browsing experience, as well as protect your privacy, you need to get rid of this cyber pest immediately!
