Torrent Search works as a search tool, but it is installed as an extension on your Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer browsers. The program has been published by Macte! Labs, but there is no official site representing it, which is why most users have very limited information regarding Torrent Search. The app is usually distributed using software bundles, and it appears that it can travel packaged with malware. Do you want malicious programs to be installed on your operating system? Of course you don’t, which is why we remind you that you need to be cautious when installing any kind of software. Have you already removed Torrent Search, but your operating system is not running normally? If you do not delete all existing threats, your operating system will remain compromised.
It is one thing to remove Torrent Search, and it is an entirely different story when it comes to the removal of other malicious programs. It is enough to uninstall Torrent Search from your operating system – as shown in the removal guide below – to get rid of the suspicious extension. Unfortunately, other threats could require more attention and better knowledge of the operating system and malware. If you do not know how to deal with malware, it is best you install an automatic malware removal tool that can delete all computer infections and keep it protected from other virtual attacks.

In non-techie terms:
Torrent Search is not an extension we recommend installing on your PC. The program could open up security backdoors via the search results as well as the pop-up and banner advertisements that you are likely to encounter. You can remove Torrent Search using the guide above, but we also suggest installing authentic security software to automatically delete the remaining threats and to protect your operating system, so that malicious programs cannot attack you in the future.
