SearchAwesome

SearchAwesome is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) for macOS systems. SearchAwesome may be promoted online as an enhanced search tool that will help users discover better content online. However, the true purpose of SearchAwesome is to promote 3rd-party search engine that are unlikely to be as reliable as your current favorite search engine. Once SearchAwesome is installed, it will make changes to your Web browser so that you will be redirected to 3rd-party search services whenever you try to open your homepage, open a new tab or initiate a new search.

Regardless of what SearchAwesome's website may tell, you can rest assured that you do not need the enhancements that this software claims to offer. If you have made the mistake to install SearchAwesome and allow it to manipulate your browser's configuration, then you should take the necessary actions to remove this software. We recommend doing this by running an up-to-date macOS security tool, which will identify and remove all components linked to SearchAwesome.
