Posted: March 24, 2021

Searchmy.co is a Web page that is being promoted through the use of shady software categorized as a browser hijacker or a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). The good news is that this software is not considered to be malware, and the worst it can do to your computer is to set Searchmy.co as your browser's default new tab page, homepage or search engine. While using Searchmy.co is not unsafe, it may hinder your browsing experience by showing unwanted ads, or providing low-quality search results.

If your Web browser is redirecting you to Searchmy.co all of a sudden, then this change was likely caused by a faulty browser extension or stand-alone application that you installed recently. Often, such software tries to mask its true intentions, and users might be unaware that they are installing applications, which will manipulate their Web browser settings.

If you see Searchmy.co regularly whenever you go online, then we suggest checking for the presence of intrusive software on your hard drive. Both Windows and macOS users have complained about this website, so you should use an anti-virus tool compatible with your operating system. Once the source of the issue is identified and removed, your browser's settings should be restored automatically.
