Search.searchlcll.com virus - How to remove

Search.searchlcll.com – a brand new product from Polarity Technologies LTD. It is an instant red flag because this company is known for developing malware and nothing else. If your homepage was automatically set to www.search.searchlcll.com, there is no doubt that the web browser you are currently using was hit by a browser hijacker. The virus is operating as browser add-on and as far as we know it can be added to all most popular web browser out there – Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox.

We have discussed tons of browser hijackers developed by Polarity in the past – Search.searchwamtv.com and Searchdefence.com are just a couple of examples. The good news are that we have successfully helped our readers to deal with those infections and get rid of them. This time we are going to do exactly the same – provide you with instructions how to remove Search.searchlcll.com hijacker from your computer and web browser. So if you are a victim of this malware, please proceed reading the article.

Search.searchlcll.com virus features

You already know that this malware is categorised as browser hijacker, so what exactly does it do? Infections like this are trying to build an audience and then monetise it by pushing various advertisemenets or simply redirecting users to various websites they are not supposed to visit. That’s a plain simple method to make money online. The problem is that Polarity Technologies LTD employs deceptive methods to achieve those goals.

First of all, Search.searchlcll.com browser add-on is distributed illegaly. Usually it comes as a bundle to some free software that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, if you install some free media player or utility tool, during the installation you might be offered to install some additional browser add-on, which is free and will enhance your web browsing experience. In this case Search.searchlcll.com is described as a faster search website which will also provide you with quick links to classified listings websites. However, those features are useless and this website can’t live up to its’ words. If you accept this offer or simply ignore it (additional tools like this usually come as default option), Search.searchlcll.com add-on will be automatically added to your web browser.

Once this extension is on the list of your web browsers’ add-ons list, it will make some changes automatically without even asking you about that. Both your homepage and default search engine options will be set to www.search.searchlcll.com as well as new tab page option.

This website tries to create and image of reliable search engine which is convenient to use, yet we do not recommend to do that. If you ever try to search for something through this website, your search will be executed via Yahoo search engine, thus results are reliable. However, all your searches will be tracked, so if you reviel some of your private information there, it can be easily leaked.

Wha’ts more dangerous about this website – links leading to other places. While some of them are completely legitimate and trustworthy (like links to Yahoo or Facebook), others should not be clicked. Search.searchlcll.com is promoting various websites by placing links on the toolbar and we can’t ensure that those websites are safe to visit.

It’s obviously enough reasons to eliminate this hijacker from your computer and web browser, but do you know how to do that? The most efficient method is to download and scan your computer with anti-malware application like Spyhunter. All files associated with this infection will be removed instantly and you will only have to restore previous settings of your web browser afterwards. Instructions how to do that can be found below.
