Nebula Search

Posted: July 29, 2020

Nebula Search is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may manipulate your Web browser's settings adversely. The good news is that while the Nebula Search may be annoying, it is not an unsafe application that you should worry about. However, as soon as it is installed, it will replace your Web browser's default search aggregator with Feed.nebulasearch.net – this may reduce the quality of your Web searches, and you may see more advertisements than usual while at Nebula Search.

Nebula Search may be promoted as a helpful program that can enhance your Web searching experience, but you can rest assured that it does no such thing. Currently, all searches made through Nebula Search are redirected to Yahoo Search. However, this functionality is at risk of being modified at any time, and Nebula Search's creators may opt to redirect you to less credible search engines in the future. It is best to avoid using Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and software that changes your browser's settings forcefully.

If you are experiencing Nebula Search's changes, then you should strive to remove the unwanted application aided by a suitable PC security tool.
