Search Baron

Posted: August 23, 2019

The Search Baron application is available for Apple's OSX exclusively, but we assure you that this is not something that you want to install. While this program is not a threat, it might bring undesired changes to the way your Mac and Safari browser operate – this happens because the Search Baron software is meant to promote the search services offered by Searchbaron.com. This search page appears to deliver results by using Bing's search algorithm, but it also may spawn advertisements or redirect you to 3rd-party pages with a questionable reputation.

The 'promotion' is executed by setting Searchbaron.com as the default search service provider, as well as attempts to set it as the default homepage or new tab page. If you notice the Searchbaron.com URL while browsing the Web, it is very likely that this is because you have installed the Search Baron program unknowingly. This may happen because the Search Baron may be bundled with freeware applications that use misleading instructions to trick users into authorizing the installation of 3rd-party software.

The removal of the Search Baron is not mandatory or urgent, but it is the recommended course of action if you wish to restore Safari's normal behavior.
