Look Smart Secure Search

Posted: March 14, 2018

The Look Smart Secure Search is a browser extension, which is programmed to bring annoying changes to the user's Web browser. Although it might be advertised as a browser-enhancing utility that can improve the quality of your Web searches, you can rest assured that there is nothing special about the Look Smart Secure Search and these false promises are only there to increase the number of users who use this add-on and the website it promotes. The first red flag can be spotted as soon as the Look Smart Secure Search's installation is started – the extension requires permission to replace the Google Chrome's default start page, new tab page and search aggregator. While the changes aren't unsafe, it is safe to assume that the Looksmart.me website that the add-on promotes is not as credible and reputable as Bing, Yahoo, Google, or similar websites that the users depend on usually.

The Look Smart Secure Search is not harmful, and if you are happy with the way it works, then there's no reason for you to remove it from the computer. If you, however, do not wish to continue using the settings that Look Smart Secure Search brought, then you should proceed to uninstall this extension either manually or with the help of an up-to-date PC security utility that is able to identify and remove Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
