SportsSearcher

Posted: September 11, 2020

SportsSearcher is a browser extension that may be advertised online as a great way to gain access to sports news and events. However, installing SportsSearcher will bring unwanted changes to the way your Web browser operates. Instead of being helpful, this add-on focuses on promoting the pages located at Feed.sports-searcher.com and Portal.sports-searcher.com. They will be set as the default search engine and new tab page of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox users.

SportsSearcher is detected as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by PC security products, so you shouldn't be bothered by it if you are using an up-to-date security tool. The good news is that even if you have allowed SportsSearcher's installation, there is nothing to worry about since this add-on does not exhibit harmful behavior. The worst it does is redirect you to the search engines mentioned above - their search feature works, but they may focus on promoting sponsored advertisements and results.

If you are unhappy with SportsSearcher, you should take care of its removal using a suitable security tool.
