Tide Search is an unwanted program also considered as malicious because the program’s developer makes no effort in explaining the user what it will make her/him go through once the software is installed.
The only goals this program goes for are, first of all to show as many ads as possible in every website we visit, and to spy on our every move online.
These ads can be seen either as pop-ups, publicity banners, or green/blue underlined links among the text of every website we go into.
All this publicity is shown tagged as Tide Search Ads or Powered by Tide Search, usually it is because of those tags that people even realize they have been affected with an unwanted program.
Besides contaminating your visual experience of the web, Tide Search also takes the time to collect data about everything you do online like the websites you visit and the web searches you make. This infection goes as far as analyzing your computer’s contents… according to them with statistic purposes only, or so they say in their official website. The truth is that they save this data onto huge databases they can sell afterwards.
Usually well hidden in freeware install processes, and because is unusual to see and user rejecting optional features offered in those processes, Tide Search manages to easily take hold of many computers.
Even though Tide Search has its own official website, we can not download it there. This website was surely built only to give the program a legitimate look, plus it provides the right place to publish their conditions of use.
Remember… all those conditions have been implicitly approved by you when you install the process.. even if you did it without even realizing it…
