Do you know what SearchGames4U is?
The description of SearchGames4U says that the extension provides the best way to search. However, lately, we have encountered quite a few applications that claim the same thing, for example, AllMoviesSearch, AllConvertersSearches, SearchConverters, and so on. All of these mentioned applications, including this new variant, fall under the classification of potentially unwanted programs. It means that the program could have undesirable functionality. Thus, can it provide the best way to search? That is something you have to decide for yourself. Of course, to do so, you need to know more about the extension, which is why we recommend reading the rest of this report. If you want to learn how to erase SearchGames4U, we can offer our removal guide placed below. In case you have any questions, you can leave us a comment at the end of this article.
SearchGames4U might be available on its homepage called get.searchgames4u.com and on the Chrome Web Store page. However, users who find it on Chrome Web Store might not form a good impression about it as, at the moment of writing, the extension has a low rating of one star out of five. There are also no user reviews that could explain why the application does or does not deserve the current rating. Thus, it is difficult to say how many users would want to download the potentially unwanted program from the mentioned platform. Nonetheless, other channels could be used to spread it. For instance, the extension might be advertised on pop-ups, banners, and other types of advertisements as well as file-sharing websites. Therefore, we advise not to visit unreliable file-sharing websites or click on ads offering unknown tools if you want to keep away from potentially unwanted programs and applications alike.

SearchGames4U works on Google Chrome browsers. After being installed, it might change the default search engine. Portal.searchgames4u.com should become the new default search engine. If you are hoping for an advanced tool that would be better than Google or Yahoo search engines, you might be disappointed because portal.searchgames4u.com might use a modified version of the Yahoo search engine to gather and display search results. Thus, it might feel like you are searching directly through search.yahoo.com. However, it is possible that the results you see might be modified as well. For instance, they could be injected with third-party ads from the potentially unwanted program’s third-party partners. Such ads could be tailored as SearchGames4U might ask permission to view your browsing history. Thus, the application might see what websites you visit or what you search for on the Internet. Such data could help it and its third-party partners understand what you like and show you targeted ads. What you should keep in mind is that the ads might seem tempting, but they could come from unreliable sources, which is why it is best to be careful with them.
