Suddenly Safesear.ch took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Safesear.ch is a browser extension associated with a website with the same name. If the add-on has been installed on your system, you will be provided with a search engine that should bring to you “the most streamlined search experience”. The search engine is also promoted as safe to use because it is supposed to have the ability to filter malicious websites. However, there is no guarantee if Safesear.ch is reliable and what is more, it is rather pointless to use the search tool because it redirects you to search.yahoo.com instead of providing you with original search results.
How did I get infected with Safesear.ch?
Safesear.ch cannot really be downloaded, which means it has entered your system and appeared in the place of your search engine without permission. Unauthorized modifications to the system are typical for browser hijackers and Safesear.ch seems to act like one. There is a great chance that the program has infiltrated your PC alongside some free applications. If you have downloaded any recently and hurried through their setup, you should not be surprised to discover some unwanted programs on your computer.
Why is Safesear.ch dangerous?
If you visit Safesear.ch, you will find its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. It is stated in the Privacy Policy that you may be exposed to third-party content in the form of pop-up ads and sponsored links. You should avoid clicking on any of those because you might be sent to corrupted websites. Landing on unreliable web pages may result in infecting your system with malware or in acquiring more unwanted programs. Do not put your virtual security at risk by using the Safesear.ch search engine. Remove the program now before some adverse consequences take place.
