Home Malware Programs Browser Hijackers TheMaskSearch

TheMaskSearch

Posted: June 19, 2020

TheMaskSearch is the name of a dubious browser extension whose installation is often associated with the introduction of undesired changes to your Web browser's configuration. The extension is known to replace the default new tab page and search engine that the Web browser uses by setting them to Portal.themasksearch.com and Feed.themasksearch.com, respectively. While these changes are not a security concern, it is very likely that they will undermine your Web browsing experience by forcing you to use a page that you are not familiar with. Furthermore, there is no way to be sure that the content served by Themasksearch.com can be trusted.

TheMaskSearch is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and users who rely on antivirus protection are likely to see multiple warnings when trying to install this extension. If you do not use such software and you are being bothered by the TheMaskSearch's changes, then we suggest that you remove this PUP with the help of a suitable PC security scanner.
