Posted: June 9, 2020

Searchsnow.com is a search engine that may receive a significant portion of its traffic thanks to the use of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and browser hijackers – these types of software are not considered to be harmful, but their presences on your system are likely to be accompanied by unapproved changes to your Web browser's configuration. In the case of the Searchsnow.com hijacker, your Web browser's default search setting may be set to Searchsnow.com.

Due to this change, all searches you start through the address bar will end up taking you to Searchsnow.com. However, this website appears to lead to some additional redirects too – it takes users to Searchbaron.com, then to a shady ad platform, and, finally, it shows results on Mybrowser-search.com. Experiencing several redirects whenever you search the Web is certainly not an enjoyable experience – your searches will be slower, and you may encounter more advertisements than usual.

Reversing the changes that the Searchsnow.com hijacker brought should happen automatically when you remove the software responsible for the issue. Needless to say, the most straightforward way to do this is to use a suitable PC security scanner.
