Of course, there are several reasons Search.htextfrompc.co is often classified as an untrustworthy search tool. Its first drawback is that it can change browsers’ settings without permission. In other words, you might find it set as your new homepage out of the blue. Although it seems to be a beneficial search tool with all these quick-access buttons it has, we still cannot call it a reputable search provider because our researchers have revealed that this search tool sooner or later presents users with the modified search results. Although these modified search results do not look harmful at all, they might redirect users to untrustworthy third-party pages. We do not say that all the pages these links open are bad, but it is only a question of time when you get redirected to an untrustworthy website. We do not say that all these untrustworthy pages are full of malicious applications. Some of them, for example, might try to extract some personal details about you instead. Do not enter any personal details on suspicious third-party websites because they might be shared with third parties and then used for fraudulent purposes.

Search.htextfrompc.co also records information about users. Although it focuses on the collection of the non-personally identifiable information, e.g. it records the type of the browser used, the operating system type, geographic location, and a list of websites visited, it might also record the personally-identifiable information if it is provided by the user, e.g, if he/she enters personal details in the search box. Since Search.htextfrompc.co is not a reputable search provider, you should not let ir record any information about you. You cannot change the settings of this search tool, but you can disable it completely by removing it from your browsers.Search.htextfrompc.co Removal GuideSearch.htextfrompc.co screenshot
