LivePDFSearch

LivePDFSearch is an intrusive browser extension whose installer may promise to grant users access to excellent PDF conversion and discovery tools. However, the true goal of the LivePDFSearch add-on is to bring users to a 3rd-party search engine, therefore boosting the amount of traffic it receives. By artificially increasing the number of visitors, LivePDFSearch may allow the website to generate more advertising revenue. The page that LivePDFSearch promotes is located at Livepdfsearch.com, and the promotion happens by making the following changes to the affected Web browser:

• Setting the default new tab to Portal.livepdfsearch.com.
• Setting the default search service to Feed.livepdfsearch.com.

There is nothing threatening about these websites, and they can, in fact, provide somewhat reliable search results. However, it is important to note that Livepdfsearch.com is not affiliated with a reputable company, and its functionality is subject to change at any time. This means that Livepdfsearch.com might not be reliable in a few days, weeks, or months.

LivePDFSearch is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and removing it is the recommended course of action. It should be possible to uninstall LivePDFSearch manually, but it is best to complete the task with a reputable computer security scanner's assistance.
