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

Browser hijackers, as their name suggests, have the power to take control of any browsers its victims have on their computers and do whatever settings modifications they want. Search Feed tech is a page that hints of a malicious infection on your computer. Once the parasite infiltrates your browser, it will waste no time. Hijackers are known to have the power to replace user’s homepage, new tab pages, as well as a preferred search engine, with a custom link.

In this case, when victims of such malware open their browsers, they will be met with the Search Feed Tech website. Not just that, their screen will get bombarded with intrusive promoted content. Every page they visit will be swarmed with ads. Be it pop-ups, in-text, banners or blinking alert messages, there is no escape from them. But that’s not all. To make sure that the generated advertisements will bring income through the PPC (Pay-Per-Click) scheme, the hijacker will obtain any web data it can find, such as but not limited to browser history, search results, surfing habits, etc. Then, it will use this information to make the required customizations, so the adverts are more likely to get clicked on by the user.

The most common means of browser hijacker distribution include spam email messages, email attachments and executable files, free software bundles, fake update requests, infected links and ads, corrupt torrent files, etc. Most users do not put much thought when they are clicking on the ‘I Agree’ or ‘Next’ button. Almost no one reads the Terms and Conditions. It is a big mistake to rush into an installation process without paying close attention to what you are actually installing on your PC.

When dealing with software that you’ve downloaded from the internet, the smart thing to do is to opt for Custom/Advanced mode in the Setup Wizard. This move will give you power over the installation process and you’ll be able to view the full contents of what you’re actually installing on your computer. If you notice any optional installations, we strongly suggest that you opt out of all of them, as additional software is often malware in disguise.

Fear not, as browser hijackers are not as dangerous as other viruses like Trojans or ransomware. What’s more, hijackers are widely considered not to be real ‘viruses’, due to their attack limitation. They only infiltrate browsers, not the entire computer system of the user. But don’t relax just yet. And definitely, do not go underestimating the power of this malicious parasite. Browser hijackers are more than capable of seriously damaging your browser, often to the point of it not able to run properly or not working altogether.

Furthermore, the existence of such cyber pest on your computer puts your online security and privacy in jeopardy. Valuable information such as passwords, Login ID, IP addresses, and even bank account credentials and credit card numbers can easily fall into the hands of hackers, who can share this data with other third-parties for profit. No one wants their private information to be available for everyone to see and use.

What you need to do, is to remove this nasty browser hijacker, and you need to do it fast. The longer you let it roam free on your browser, the worse it will get. Not to mention that you give it enough times to execute more and more malicious tasks that can result in letting other viruses to enter your computer. If you need help to successfully get rid of this annoying parasite, we can help you. All you have to do is follow our detailed instructions below.
