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

Search.searchisemail.com is a search engine which provides quick access to a selection of websites. The platform features a couple of links bars. The first is embedded below the search field. The linked websites are Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, Amazon and Twitter. Search.searchisemail.com includes a toolbar which features quick access buttons to a set of websites: My News Wire, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, Facebook and Google Maps. The toolbar also features a weather report widget and a second search field. Search.searchisemail.com combines the functionality of a search engine with the convenience of a quick access links bar. While the available services are good, the domain is considered unreliable. Security experts have reported that Search.searchisemail.com is associated to a browser hijacker.

The hijacker behind Search.searchisemail.com is distributed in a couple of ways. The predominant vector is bundling. The furtive program can travel in a merged executable with another utility. The download client will list the hijacker as a bonus tool and offer it for free. You could miss the option. The host will include it in its terms and conditions. If you skip through the installation steps in haste, you will not know what you are agreeing to. We advise you to read the end user license agreement (EULA) of the applications you add to your computer. Select the custom or advanced installation mode, so that all options would be shown.

The other method for spreading the Search.searchisemail.com hijacker is through spam emails. The message will be presented as an important notification from a reputable organization. The sender can write on behalf of a government branch, a bank, a social network, a courier firm, an institution, the national post or the district police department. He will point to an attached document and tell you to view it for more details. Be warned that opening the attachment would unleash the payload of the Search.searchisemail.com hijacker into your machine. Before following instructions from an email, make sure it is reliable.

The Search.searchisemail.com hijacker targets the web browser. It can penetrate the most common browsing clients, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer and others. The first task on the agenda of the nefarious program is to render the internal settings. It will reset your homepage and default search engine to Search.searchisemail.com. You will not be able to switch back to your preferred settings. The hijacker will change them back every time you make an attempt. By having the designated website set, the rogue program has the ability to render the search results. It will add supported pages amid the results which genuinely match your queries.

The Search.searchisemail.com hijacker appends changes to the browser’s settings in order to receive advanced privileges. The covert program implements an elaborate monetizing strategy to raise profit for its developers. The technique is called the pay-per-click system. This is a common and effective method. The creators of the Search.searchisemail.com hijacker get paid for redirecting users to third party websites. The owners of the corresponding domains pay them for every time they manage to score a click. The most effective way to garner users’ interest is by showing them enticing shopping ads. The Search.searchisemail.com hijacker displays offers for various items, like clothes, furniture, accessories, technological devices, sports gear, gardening equipment, decorations, games and others.

If you check the terms of use on Search.searchisemail.com, you will discover that the owners of the domain have disclaimed responsibility for security problems. The website works with specialized software which belongs to a Limassol, Cyprus company named Eightpoint Technologies Ltd. The services are provided under an exclusive license agreement by a Cayman Islands company called Polarity Technologies Ltd. By using the services, you agree to assume full responsibility for your system’s security. Apart from the risk of contacting malware, your activity on your computer will be monitored. The Search.searchisemail.com hijacker can gather personal and financial details without your knowledge or permission and sell them on darknet markets.
