Search Select

Posted: August 5, 2016

Search Select is a Web browser extension that is recognized as a browser hijacker by numerous anti-malware software products. The first impression that Search Select leaves is that it is an interesting browser extension that can provide users with a fully customizable Web page that also features an enhanced search provider. However, users who opt to install the Search Select browser extension may be unhappy to find out that this software will change their default search provider to http://search-select.co automatically. Apart from being the extension's official website, http://search-select.co is also the page that Search Select sets as the default new tab page and search provider of users who install the extension automatically. While using http://search-select.co.is safe, it is not recommend doing so, because the page is not trustworthy and it doesn't benefit your Web browsing experience in any way.

Search queries that users run through http://search-select.co may bring results from the Bing.com search engine. The Search Select extension may not be as useful as it claims to be, and users who install it may be disappointed to find out that it doesn't offer anything special. Not only this, but Search Select also may disrupt their Web browsing habits by redirecting them to http://search-select.co whenever they open a new tab or attempt to use the Google Chrome's search field. If you wish to remove the Search Select extension and restore your browser's settings, you should navigate to the list of installed Chrome extensions and remove the Search Select entry.
