Guardedsearchingext.xyz

Guardedsearchingext.xyz is a website, which appears to promote a browser extension called 'FF Guarded Searching.' This program is only compatible with Mozilla Firefox, and it appears that the Guardedsearchingext.xyz page has been programmed to block visitors that use other Web browsing clients. This is because the sole purpose of Guardedsearchingext.xyz is to trick users into accepting to install an 'urgent Firefox update,' which isn't true – the only thing that this page provides for installation is the FF Guarded Searching extension, which is certainly not to be trusted considering the fraudulent schemes being used to promote it.

Surprisingly, the team behind Guardedsearchingext.xyz also appears to promote other extensions by using several other domains which host the same fraudulent Firefox update notification:

• h[tt]p://antivirmonitoringext[.]xyz/ff/
• h[tt]p://protectantivirext[.]biz//ff
• h[tt]p://safeprotection[.]xyz/ff
• h[tt]p://ffantivir[.]com/ff
• h[tt]p://getupdateff[.]com/ff
• h[tt]p://www.securityext[.]com/ff
• h[tt]p://www.ffdefend[.]com/ff
• h[tt]p://www.saveprotecterext[.]com/ff
• h[tt]p://www.ublockerext[.]com/ff
• h[tt]p://www.protecttoolext[.]com/ff

We assure you that you should never agree to install browser add-ons that were advertised to you as a critical or urgent update. Often, these add-ons might end up just changing your browser's default new tab page or search aggregator – harmless actions which, however, might turn out to be rather annoying.

If you've added the 'FF Guarded Searching' extension thanks to one of these fraudulent warnings recently, then we suggest that you remove it immediately to avoid further problems. It shouldn't be a problem to uninstall FF Guarded Searching manually since it is not unsafe, but you also can execute its removal with the assistance of a suitable PC security scanner, which specializes in the elimination of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
