My Search Manager

Posted: April 26, 2018

The My Search Manager is a browser add-on, which is only compatible with Google Chrome and it promises its users to enhance their ability to search the Web by providing them with access to a cool new search engine, as well as a collection of tools and services they can use to find the most relevant content. The extension is found at Mysearchmanager.net and the official Google Chrome store, but we advise against installing it due to several reasons. For starters, the My Search Manager is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by cybersecurity experts, and its installation also might bring unwanted changes to your browser's configuration. PUPs often tend to modify the default new tab page, but the My Search Manager works by modifying the Chrome's default search aggregator to Search.mysearchmanager.net.

The My Search Manager is not an unsafe application, and its removal is not mandatory if you are satisfied with the features it offers. In general, most people would prefer to avoid low-quality search engines like the My Search Manager, and this is why they would rather stick to popular search tools like Google, Bing, Yahoo or DuckDuckGo. If you have installed the My Search Manager and wish to revert your browser's settings to normal, then we suggest that you remove the PUP with the help of a trustworthy PC security software suite.
