SearchWorld

Posted: August 19, 2020

SearchWorld is a browser add-on that promises to enhance your ability to search the Web by introducing you to new and exciting search utilities. Unfortunately, installing SearchWorld will not yield you any advantages and, instead, it may impair your Web browsing by forcing you to use a new tab page and search aggregator that you are not used to. SearchWorld may reconfigure your Web browser, so that you will be redirected to the non-trustworthy site Toksearches.xyz whenever you try to load a new tab or search the Web through the address bar.

Toksearches.xyz appears to redirect users to the Yahoo Search, so its results will be credible for now. However, you should notice that neither SearchWorld nor Toksearches.xyz are affiliated with a reputable company, and their functionality is subject to change at any time. This means that in a few weeks, Toksearches.xyz may end up taking you to shady websites.

SearchWorld is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and as such, it can be removed with the use of an up-to-date PC security application. The removal of SearchWorld is strongly recommended because this is the most reliable way to undo the changes to your Web browser that SearchWorld has made.
