Remove FlexibleSearch

FlexibleSearch is an annoying Mac application whose name sounds like it has something to do with enhancing your online search experience. Unfortunately, none of FlexibleSearch's features are helpful or important, and your best option is to remove this software immediately. It is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP,) and you should not allow it to run on your device. It is important to add that FlexibleSearch is by no means a dangerous application – it cannot harm your data, violate your privacy, or cause any notable issues.

However, what FlexibleSearch can do is to manipulate your Web browser's settings and behavior in a negative manner. For example, this software is linked to annoying changes concerning the default browser new tab and search aggregator. FlexibleSearch may replace them with a 3rd-party site, which delivers subpar results compared to Yahoo, Bing, Google, and other popular search services. On top of this, the websites that this PUP promotes may also contain extra ads and sponsored contents, which are irrelevant to your interests.

By now, you may be wondering why anyone would accept to install FlexibleSearch. The catch is that FlexibleSearch's installation often occurs without the user's knowledge. It is impossible to find a legitimate, direct download of this app's installer. Instead, it is propagated through the use of fake installers/updaters, software bundles, and other misleading practices. 

If you notice the name FlexibleSearch on your Mac, or you identify any of the aforementioned changes, then we advise you to try to deal with the situation immediately. You can dispose of FlexibleSearch and undo its changes by running an up-to-date Mac security application.
