Posted: November 3, 2015

Searchfar.net is an unreliable search site that may become your homepage automatically. If your Web clients start redirecting you towards this questionable page on a regular basis, then they are affected by a browser hijacker. These tools may sneak in unnoticed because they may be part of the installers of third-party freeware. Luckily, if you perform the setup process through the comprehensive 'Advanced' guide, you should be able to cancel the installation of unrequested and suspicious additional components. The dubious software that causes redirections towards searchfar.net may be in the form of an extension that you may locate in the Add-on Managers of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The removal, however, may be a far more complex task, so you should use a dedicated security product. There are plenty of reasons not to conduct searches on searchfar.net. The main purpose of this platform is to boost Web traffic towards its partners. To redirect you to affiliate domains, searchfar.net simply puts the links on top positions. However, since these results may not be the most accurate ones, you may not find what you need. As consequence, you may waste your time visiting sites that may not help you in any way. The second and even more important reason to stay away from searchfar.net concerns its partners. The administrators of this questionable site earn referral commissions. They will increase their income when they have more partners. If they don't examine every sponsored page properly, some of the affiliate pages may turn out to be unsafe. Visiting them may result in system damage or some kind of fraud. The suggested course of action is to scan your PC to remove the browser hijacker associated with searchfar.net.
