Searchsio Search

Posted: February 17, 2020

Searchsio Search is a browser extension dedicated to promoting the search engine Feed.searchsio.com. The add-on may claim that the changes it brings are meant to enhance your ability to navigate and search the Web, but the truth is that its sole purpose is to promote Feed.searchsio.com and the advertisements that this Web page may spawn. It is important to mention that the advertisements you may see on Feed.searchsio.com may generate revenue for Searchsio Search's publisher, so it does not come as a surprise that the extension will force all of its users to use Feed.searchsio.com as often as possible.

The behavior that Searchsio Search exhibits is typical for Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs.) Thankfully, this is the worst that Searchsio Search can do, and this add-on is not associated with other harmful or suspicious activity that would warrant its immediate removal. Users who are not unhappy with the changes made by Searchsio Search do not need to worry about this software's removal.

However, if you did not install Searchsio Search on purpose or are unhappy with the changes it brought, then we suggest that you take the required steps to complete its removal. While this task can be accomplished manually, it is better to take care of it with the use of an updated PC security tool.
