Remove Search.becovi.com
Search.becovi.com is a simple search engine, which shows up in Web browsers out of nowhere. Users are often unaware that this happens with the assistance of 3rd-party software. In this case, we are talking about browser hijackers or Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs.) This type of software often relies on misleading tricks and false information to get users to download and install it. If you are seeing Search.becovi.com in your browser, it is almost certain that the cause of the change is a 3rd-party app.
Typically, the software that promotes this search engine sets it as the default search service and new tab page of Web browsers. It may also work in the background to prevent users from changing these settings. If the hijacker/PUP notices anything out of the ordinary, it may immediately revert the changes the user does.
While using Search.becovi.com does not seem to be a problem for now, it may turn into one in the future. Currently, the simple search engine does not host nothing apart from a search field. Using it redirects users to Google.com search results. However, the site administrators may change this feature at any time. This means that they could reprogram the website to redirect to low-quality search services like Nearbyme.io. These often deliver unreliable search results, host too many ads, and cause other problems.
What Should I do if I see Search.becovi.com?
The best way to proceed when you notice this website in your browser is to try and identify the source of the issue. Since doing this manually can be troublesome, we suggest automating the task. You can use an up-to-date Windows or Mac anti-malware tool to scan your system for PUPs and hijackers. Once you remove these successfully, you should be able to fix your browser configuration.
