Search Defense is a browser hijacker installed by parasite programs. A browser hijacker will modify certain settings on your browser- usually the homepage or default search engine- so it can replace it with a setup that forces you to use its services.
Search Defense puts several dll and exe files on your hard drive. It also modifies your registry and creates a Windows service so that it can reset itself automatically. Search Defense infects Chrome and Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. It slows down your computer and causes privacy issues since the authors of this adware program are likely to find out about everything you do on the Internet (websites you visit, your searches, etc.). That’s why we recommend that you remove this spyware program as soon as you can and by using the free tools provided below.
