Classifieds Easy is a piece of software developed and distributed by Polarity Technologies Ltd, a software publisher linked to low-quality software like Quiz Rocket. The installation of Classifieds Easy should provide its users with quick access to the latest local classifieds ads from their area, as well as specialized offers and other relevant content. However, users might not be told that the installation of Classifieds Easy is not possible unless they agree to set search.classifiedseasy.com as their default new tab page. This search engine is not threatening, and some users might find it useful because it features a weather widget, as well as quick links to various online services linked to classified ads. The search field does not use a unique search algorithm and, instead, it redirects users to the Yahoo's search engine. This means that users who opt to use search.classifiedseasy.com's search feature will be provided with reliable results, and they should not see excessive amounts of advertisements while at Yahoo. However, this is not guaranteed for the search.classifiedseasy.com page, and it might start hosting ads at any point, as long as its authors opt to include this sort of marketing content.
Classifieds Easy is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and users may want to think twice before installing this piece of software. The reason for this is not just the fact that Classifieds Easy may insert its search engine in the browser's configuration, but it also may not provide any unique or irreplaceable features. All classified ads it can display are simply leeched from websites like Craiglist and delivered to the user's Web browser. The same result can be achieved by simply browsing Craigslist and, thankfully, doing this does not require the installation of PUPs like Classifieds Easy.
If you see the search.classifiedseasy.com in your Web browser, and you wish to get rid of this unwanted page, then you should take the necessary actions to remove the browser hijacker, and then restore your Web browser's settings. This can be done by using a reputable anti-malware utility since credible computer security software is also able to deal with low-level intruders such as adware and browser hijackers.
