Swift Search

Posted: June 18, 2015

Swift Search is an unreliable browser extension that may turn your on-line experience into a rather unpleasant activity. The program claims to make it easier for you to search for information. Reportedly, all it would take for you to initiate a search would be to highlight the word that interests you. Although this feature may seem useful to some people, it is accompanied by other symptoms that tend to be negative. Swift Search acts as a typical adware add-on and inserts numerous advertisements in your Internet clients. This Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) affects all browsers simultaneously ‒ including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The ads can be pop-ups, banners, targeted videos and in-text ads and may significantly harm the performance of your browser. The greatest danger lies in the fact that the sponsored materials may lead to potentially dangerous sites. Although the adware can be downloaded from its official page, it also travels together with other cost-free programs. If it has already reached your PC, you should consider removing it with a powerful anti-malware tool.
