The Search Awesome may present a security risk to computer users since it is detected as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by updated and reputed security tools. The Search Awesome may invade a computer when its user is downloading malevolent files and applications such as infectious videos from the Internet. The Search Awesome also may come packed together with shareware and freeware applications or attached to spam emails. The Search Awesome may show unwanted advertisements on the screen of the PC and insert relevant toolbars on the Web browser. The Search Awesome also may use tricky techniques to raise traffic of the certain advertisement websites and make money from click- fraud.

The Search Awesome may install itself on the computer surreptitiously and automatically. The Search Awesome may drop its own components into the Web browser or disguise itself deeply in the computer memory. The Search Awesome may collect the users browsing habits details and non-personally identifiable information from PC users. The collected information may be used by advertisers to send appealing advertisements to the computer user. Besides all the problems the Search Awesome may cause, there's nothing it offers that secure and reliable applications can't do. Therefore, since its removal may be somewhat tricky, a capable anti-malware solution can clean your machine and remove all traces of the Search Awesome.
