Remove Safe Search by SmartTab
Safe Search by SmartTab is an intrusive browser add-on, which we consider to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) In addition to being detected as intrusive by antivirus products, Safe Search by SmartTab may also attempt to manipulate the configuration of Web browsers. Users who encountered this PUP report that it hijacks the new tab page and search service of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other popular Web browsers. When it does this, it promotes a low-quality search service called Sosearcher.com.
Using Safe Search by SmartTab, Sosearcher.com, or any other website that this add-on promotes is not recommended. The search results they deliver are unlikely to be reliable, and they may often contain extra sponsored content or advertisements.
If you find Safe Search by SmartTab on your system, we advise you to take care of its removal with the help of an up-to-date anti-malware software suite. To avoid future encounters with such intruders, you should ensure your system's safety by using a reputable antivirus tool constantly. Also, avoid interacting with random installers and file downloads.
