There are a few ways you could come across SearchSeries. At the start of our research, it was on the Chrome Web Store page, but the application was no longer there the last time we checked. Nonetheless, we do not think that users are no longer able to download it. The plugin has an official website called search-series.com. Not to mention, it could be spread through pop-ups, ads, and file-sharing websites since lots of potentially unwanted programs get to be distributed this way. Consequently, we advise you to be cautious when searching for new tools or receiving proposals for installing unknown software if you do not want to end up with another potentially unwanted program on your system. It is best to download tools only from legit websites. Meaning, you should forget about file-sharing websites and torrent sites. It is also vital to ensure that you know all there is to know about the program you wish to install. The most crucial thing to check before getting a tool is if it comes from reputable developers. Plus, you should make sure it has positive reviews both from experts and regular users.

What does SearchSeries do after it gets installed? If this potentially unwanted program gets in, it might change your default search engine with a website called portal.search-series.com. Our researchers report that it provides a search box that may redirect users to a modified Yahoo search engine. It means that while the results that match your keyword might be gathered and displayed by Yahoo, the potentially unwanted program might be able to inject them with additional advertisements. We do not know if the plugin will act this way, but there is a chance it could. Also, users ought to know that SearchSeries might ask for permission to view users’ browsing histories. Such permission may enable the potentially unwanted program to gather information like used keywords, visited websites, clicked ads, and so on. Such data could be used for various purposes, and one of them is to serve targeted advertisements. If you do not want to risk coming across such data, you could erase SearchSeries and change your default search engine back to the search engine you used before or any other reputable search engine.

To conclude, SearchSeries is a potentially unwanted program that may promise the best search tool there is, but its search engine seems to be unable to show results without employing the Yahoo search engine. If you feel disappointed and do not want to keep this extension on your browser, you could erase it. One way to get rid of it is to delete it from your browser’s extensions menu manually.
