Search.mysafesearch.net

Posted: March 13, 2017

Search.mysafesearch.net is a variant of Chumsearch.com, a low-quality search engine that may start showing up in your Web browser even though you've never visited it before. Usually, this may occur when users opt to install software that is not deemed reputable, and that may result in the unwanted change of their Web browser's settings. One of the extensions that are likely to be linked to Search.mysafesearch.net is 'MySafeSearch' – a browser extension that claims to improve the user's ability to search the Web, as well as protect their privacy while searching online. However, the thing about protecting the user's privacy is entirely made up, and users can rest assured that using reputable search engines such as Yahoo, Bing, or Google will not have a negative impact on their online privacy.

In addition to all this, Search.mysafesearch.net does not offer any unique search features, since all search queries ran through Search.mysafesearch.net are then executed through the Yahoo Search. This means that users who opt to use Search.mysafesearch.net's search field will end up on the search engine results page hosted by Yahoo Search.

Although Search.mysafesearch.net does not show any unsafe behavior, users might not enjoy the idea of using a search engine that is not as popular and reputable as Yahoo, Bing or Google. If your Web browser's settings have been modified so that you end up at Search.mysafesearch.net whenever you perform certain actions, then you might want to get this problem solved as soon as possible. The neatest way to remove the Search.mysafesearch.net page from your browser is to run a reputable cyber security tool that will identify and remove the MySafeSearch extension from the computer. More tech-savvy users might be able to achieve the same result by uninstalling the MySafeSearch software from their Web browser's extension managers.
