Posted: July 10, 2017

Search.downloaderpro.online is a dubious search engine, which appears to be related to the DownloaderPro extension hosted at Downloaderpro.online. According to the website, this extension is meant to provide users with a neat and convenient tool to help them download videos from YouTube. While many users are likely to find this feature useful, it is important to remember that the installation of DownloaderPro may bring some unforeseen changes to your Web browser's settings. For starters, to install DownloaderPro, users must permit the utility to modify their browser's default new tab page to Search.downloaderpro.online. Although this change is not harmful, it might impair the user's ability to search the Web since Search.downloaderpro.online might end up being configured to redirect searches to 3rd-party search aggregators. In addition to this change, it is possible that users may encounter unwanted ads while using DownloaderPro. However, this tool does not act as typical adware, and it is unlikely that it will inject ads in active Web browser windows.

Having your new tab page set to Search.downloaderpro.online may end up redirecting all your searches to Google. However, for some unknown reason, Search.downloaderpro.online always take users to the Israeli variant of Google whose interface is written in Hebrew. Naturally, no users would enjoy using a Google Search that is not using their native language, and that's why it is recommended to remove Search.downloadepro.online from your browser's settings. The best way to complete this task is to start it by disposing of the root of the problem – the DownloaderPro software. Anti-virus product vendors have identified it as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) so that you can take care of its removal by using a credible anti-malware scanner.
