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

If all of a sudden your homepage got replaced by the Search.searchidt.com site, you have a problem. You are dealing with a browser hijacker. The pest is already somewhere in your system and this reshuffle is its way of announcing itself to you. Heed that warning and accept the fact you are infected. Hijackers do not make for good company. They are meddlesome, malicious, annoying, and dangerous. The one you are stuck with doesn’t differentiate. Given enough time, it will cause you tons of issues.

Act immediately. As soon as you spot the Search.searchidt.com page, start looking for the infection. When you find it, delete it without hesitation. Nothing good will come out of hosting this pest. On the contrary. It will bring you only headaches and unpleasantries. Do not let that happen. Delete the hijacker before it is too late.

The pest takes full control of your online activities. As we said, once it enters, it changes your homepage and search engine without asking. It also prevents you from changing them back. The infection doesn’t need your approval to make reshuffles. That’s why it is called a hijacker. It does whatever it sees fit and leaves you to suffer the consequences. From now on, every time you want to surf the web, you are forced to use the http://query.searchidt.com page as a search engine. It, in turn, doesn’t show you the results you would want to see.

Most of what Search.searchidt.com displays are malicious links and unverified, sponsored commercials. Do not trust anything you are shown. Do not click on anything. With the hijacker on board, surfing the web is no longer safe. On the very contrary. You are exposed to numerous malicious ads and links and if you click on one, you may worsen your predicament. A single click is all it takes for you to download more infections on your already infected computer. Yet, dangerous pages and adverts are all you see.

Do you know what this means? As long as the hijacker is in your system, you cannot surf the web safely. You are constantly exposed to malware risk. The pest prevents you from using your machine. Are you going to let it stay and keep demolishing your online activities? Don’t! Do yourself a favor and delete it as soon as possible. In addition to destroying your browsing experience, the infection also causes your computer to underperform even when offline.

Your machine`s speed slows down to a crawl. It starts crashing and freezing on daily basis. It reboots without wanting which leads to data loss. Even the apps you use every day struggle to work properly. Do not tolerate these shenanigans. Follow our detailed removal guide below and get rid of the hijacker at once. It has no place in your system. Remove it and earn the gratitude of your future self.

How did the hijacker manage to get on board? Do you remember installing it yourself? Probably not. That’s because it tricked you. It didn’t ask openly for your consent but turned to tricky tactics in order to dupe you. One of these tactics is the so-called freeware bundling. The hijacker gets attached to another program on the web which you download and install on your PC. Yet, if you are not careful and do not read the Terms and Conditions/EULA, you end up installing the hijacker as well. Pay more attention to the fine print as it may contain some misleading clauses which you are totally against. But if you don’t read it, you end up accepting them. Do not make that mistake twice. Always be on the alert and keep your machine infection-free.
