Search For Directions

Search For Directions is an add-on that offers to give you access to helpful online maps that can help you find travel directions, addresses, points of interest, and information about the traffic conditions in different areas. However, we do not recommend installing this particular extension – the map services it offers are accessible online freely, and you do not need to install Search For Directions to access Google Maps or the Yahoo Maps. Furthermore, the installation of this add-on is always accompanied by an annoying change that concerns your browser's default new tab page – it may be set to S.searchfordirections-serp.com.

While this change is not a security concern, it might make your Web browsing sessions less enjoyable because you will be forced to use a new tab page that is not as functional as Google, Bing or Yahoo.

Search For Directions is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and you should not have to worry about its presence if your computer is protected by a reputable anti-malware application – security software should identify and prevent this add-on's installation. If the Search For Directions add-on is already present, then we advise you to take care of its removal quickly with the help of suitable PC security tools.
