Social2Search is a label often seen with certain ads. These ads are not normal content offered by any website you’re visiting, they are being injected by an adware that was installed behind your back. Social2Search will torture you with huge amount of ads, and which is worse… most of them will be nothing but fake offers; we usually notice fake optimizer software, fake antivirus, or fake updates that will bring nothing but more problems for your computer… Obviously we recommend you not to click on any of them.

Social2Search and its ads are installed through a modified install process that had some mention to the adware being present, but it was so discretely done, that you didn’t notice at all. Once installed it proves to be very hard to remove, and for good reason, since the authors of this adware have every interest on having the software installed as long as possible. The longer the program stays installed, the more money they’ll win through the shown ads.
Our recommendation in cases such as this is always the same… make sure to verify anything you download specially when it comes to free software. This little step will save you from many problems in the future, like browsing the net for a way to remove Social2Search.
We’ll say it again below, but just as a note, let us say that unlike most of the allegedly security blogs out there where you’ll be forced to pay for a solution, all the software included in our guide is completely free.
