Comet Search

The Comet Search is a dubious browser extension whose installation is usually accompanied by intrusive and unwanted changes to your browser's configuration. This software is regarded a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). You are likely to be warned about it if you are using an up-to-date computer security application.

Installing the Comet Search is not a major issue since the changes it brings are not a major problem. The PUP changes your search settings to Feed.cometsearch.info and replaces the browser's new tab with Portal.cometsearch.info. This website works like a basic search engine that delivers somewhat reliable results – however, it may be prone to displaying more advertisements than you are used to seeing.

If you find Comet Search's changes annoying, you should aim to uninstall this PUP either manually or with the use of a security scanner.
