PDFSearches

Posted: June 15, 2020

PDFSearches is a browser add-on that promises to provide you with the ability to search the Web for documents quickly or convert your documents from one format to another. However, the truth is that PDFSearches is not that great in terms of functionality, and the primary purpose of this extension is different entirely – it does not focus on being helpful and, instead, it prioritizes bringing more traffic to its website Pdf-searches.com. It does this by interfering with your Web browser's configuration and replacing your default new tab page with Portal.pdf-searches.com, and your default search aggregator with Feed.pdf-searches.com. If you are experiencing these changes, then you should consider fixing the issue by eliminating the PDFSearches add-on.

This utility is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) – it is not a security concern, but it is known to bring undesired changes to systems. If you are unhappy with the changes that PDFSearches has to offer, then we suggest removing it by using a suitable PC security tool. The removal of this PUP should restore your Web browser's previous settings automatically.
