Storm Search

Posted: July 10, 2020

The Storm Search is a browser extension that affects Windows users. It may pose as an add-on that can help you find more relevant results while searching the Web, but, in reality, it does no such thing. The only change that Storm Search introduces is replacing your default new tab page and search engine with Stormsearch.net. While there are no evil intentions behind this change, it may be difficult to revert it manually - Storm Search abuses Google Chrome's 'Managed by your organization' feature that makes it challenging to tamper with browser's settings.

If you have installed Storm Search and are not happy with what it offers, you will probably be interested in learning how to remove it. As mentioned above, completing this task manually might be difficult since Storm Search puts some restrictions on the settings you can use – thankfully, this will not be an issue when you use an updated PC security scanner to find and remove Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
