Search.hgetsports.net

Posted: February 14, 2018

Search.hgetsports.net is a website associated with a Chrome add-on called 'Get Sports,' which can be found at Getsports.net and Getsports.co. This add-on is owned by Polarity Technologies LTD, a company whose name is associated with a long list of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) whose installation might lead to undesired changes to the configuration of the user's Web browser. Sadly, Get Sports isn't any different, and users who opt to install it will have their default new tab page replaced by either Search.hgetsports.net or Search.hgetsports.co.

These search pages should not give you any trouble since they offer the content that the Get Sports extension is meant to provide – sports news and schedules, as well as a search field, which is powered by the Yahoo Search. The Search.hgetsports.net page is not linked to any suspicious activity so that using it is not a security risk.

If you are part of the large group of 'Get Sports' users who are disgruntled with the change this add-on brought to their browser's configuration, then we suggest that you uninstall the add-on with the help of a suitable PC security tool. Once this task is complete, your browser's settings should be reverted to their previous values automatically.
