Remove SearchAdventure

SearchAdventure is the name of a potentially unwanted program that is “offered” to users downloading software whose install process has been modified. SearchAdventure is considered “potentially unwanted” because there’s always a way to stop its installation before it happens, all it takes is for us to be careful when installing programs coming from the net.

From the very first moment SearchAdventure manages to insert itself into your computer, it will start spying and saving information about your browsing activity as well as showing unexpected ads all the time.

These unexpected ads are inserted directly onto the content of every website you visit, which causes all sorts of bugs and it  ruins the visual look of every page shown in your screen.

Usually we notice SearchAdventure has been installed only when we start seeing publicity tagged as SearchAdventure Ads or Ads by SearchAdventure. 

Besides ruining your browsing experience, this adware is also capable of checking everything you do online, saving data about everything you search for and every website you visit. SearchAdventure goes as far as analyzing the contents of your computer, for statistics purposes, or so they say in their conditions of use. The truth is that all that data is saved into databases with your profile built that can be sold later to other companies.

SearchAdventure as many other adware is installed along with some free software, usually fake video players found in streaming websites, fake updates for Java or Flash, or attached to free software offered in websites like soft32.com, download.com, or softonic.com (they get a commission every time SearchAdventure is successfully installed).

We see here a screenshot of SearchAdventure‘s official website, page whose only use is to publish the conditions of use that by the way are automatically accepted when the software is installed.

You should be aware that you gave your full authorization for those conditions when you installed SearchAdventure, never mind that you might not have even noticed you did…
