Do you know what Search.searchlf.com is?

Unfortunately, what they do not know is that Search.searchlf.com will be set in the place of their homepages and search engines after the installation of the extension.

We have two main reasons in mind when we say that you should remove Search.searchlf.com from your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers as soon as possible. First of all, we do not think that this search engine should be allowed to stay on browsers because it shows the modified search results full of commercial ads and sponsored links even though it is based on the Yahoo! search engine (a reliable search provider), which suggests that the developer of the Login Faster have adapted the search engine to their own needs. The presence of untrustworthy search results means that there is a possibility to be taken to an unreliable third-party website containing malicious software because ads and sponsored links that are shown together with ordinary search results promote other websites, and nobody knows whether or not they are reliable.
