Posted: May 29, 2020

Searchgeniusapp.com is a basic search engine that offers its users the ability to change the search aggregator that will be used to run their search query through – Bing, Yahoo or Google quickly. Searchgeniusapp.com also contains a list of popular news sites and social media sites that can be viewed by clicking their tiles found below the search field. While Searchgeniusapp.com may be useful, you should know that this website is associated with shady browser add-ons that are classified as Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). They may promise great things to their users, but, in reality, their sole purpose is to set Searchgeniusapp.com as the browser's default new tab page or search engine, therefore bringing more traffic to the page.

While using Searchgeniusapp.com is safe, we would not advise you to use it on a regular basis, considering the shady methods used to advertise it. In general, it is best to avoid websites associated with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) even if they seem to be reliable – this can change at any time. If Searchgeniusapp.com has been set as your browser's default new tab or search engine, you should run an anti-malware scanner that will help identify and remove the PUP responsible for the change.
