Rocket-find.com

Rocket Search (Rocket-find.com) refers to both a search engine site and the browser add-on that promotes that site's services. Although Rocket Search is not threatening, Rocket Search does use bundled distribution methods that sometimes also install other unwanted programs, and is unnecessarily difficult to remove from your browser. Unless you have well thought out justifications for using Rocket Search, malware experts consider deleting Rocket Search through proper security tools to be the best response to its presence on your browser.

Rocketing Away... to Yahoo Search

Although search engines are an obvious way to get traffic to your site, few website administrators have the funds or talent to create real search results, independent of the results of major companies. Rocket Search is one of the many sites that prefer to present themselves as search engines while offloading the search results to real ones, such as Yahoo Search. While there's no clear reason for you to visit Rocket-find.com to begin with, Rocket Search's marketing appears to have used an add-on of the same name to overcome this minor deficiency in traffic.

The browser hijacker known as Rocket Search markets itself as a product supposedly compatible with most major browsers, but malware researchers only have confirmed Rocket Search-redirecting incidents for the Chrome browser. Rocket Search add-on installers also may be bundled with other programs, some of which may reinstall Rocket Search or generate other symptoms, such as pop-up windows or advertisements.

Regardless of the nature of its affiliates, Rocket Search may try to redirect Chrome to its site whenever you search the Web. New tabs for Rocket Search and unrelated sites also may be generated when your browser opens. Finally, you also can identify Rocket Search's presence by an icon added to Chrome's URL navigation bar, although this should be unnecessary, considering the high visibility of its browser hijacks.

Teaching Rocket Search to Blast Off of Your Browser

Rocket Search is a Potentially Unwanted Program that isn't responsible for any kind of major harm to your browser or PC. You should analyze your machine with anti-malware and anti-PUP security tools that should be able to remove Rocket Search along with any other PC threats during their scans. Although malware experts have examined the Rocket Search website and found no real unsafe content on Rocket Search, allowing other programs to redirect your browser to sites of their choosing rarely is a safe decision. As may be true for any PUP, Rocket Search's estimated distribution methods are most likely to use free software sites, software piracy sources and torrent networks, all of which should be examined carefully before you trust your computer to their care.
