Remove BestSearchPDF
BestSearchPDF is an intrusive extension for Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. You may see ads for it when trying to find a quick way to discover PDF files online. The ads promoting BestSearchPDF may advertise it as an amazing search utility, which makes it quick and easy to find the PDFs you need. However, once BestSearchPDF is installed, you will see something entirely different.
This add-on is not dangerous. It is tagged as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by reputable antivirus products. Users who install it will unknowingly permit the extension to manipulate their browser settings. The changes that this extension introduces will replace your default search engine and new tab page with Portal.bestsearchpdf.com and Feed.bestsearchpdf.com. These changes are not a threat, but they are likely to hinder your online experience.
The sites that BestSearchPDF promotes host a simple search engine. However, it is not as useful as Bing, Google, or Yahoo. These sites do not help you find PDFs – using their search feature is likely to expose you to unwanted ads and other sponsored content.
PUPs like BestSearchPDF can be troublesome to deal with, even though they are not dangerous. Users who try to remove the add-on manually may encounter issues. For example, they may see an error that prevents them from uninstalling the add-on. In other cases, some of the extension's files may not be removed fully, allowing it to continue to change browser settings. The correct way to deal with intruders like this one is to run an up-to-date security tool. It can ensure the full removal of the PUP.
