Search.renewitnow.co

Search.renewitnow.co is a recently developed product of Polarity Technologies, Ltd, which users find set on their Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers after clicking on the Download Now button to get a piece of software, which promises to help users “find free printable forms,” from its official website renewitnow.co. There is no doubt that Search.renewitnow.co could have been set on users’ web browsers illegally too. No matter why you see this new website on your browsers, go to delete it as soon as possible even though it looks like a legitimate search tool because specialists do not think that it can be called trustworthy. Instead, they call this website a browser hijacker because it might change users’ browsers settings without their knowledge. Eliminate Search.renewitnow.co as soon as possible if you have already discovered it set on browsers to avoid serious problems. The next two paragraphs will let you know more about this search tool. We hope that you will come to a sensible decision once your all questions about it are answered.

Polarity Technologies, Ltd has released a bunch of search tools having different URLs; however, a user does not need to be an expert to notice that all of them are created on the same template. They do not only look similar, but share the same drawbacks. For example, they might present users with untrustworthy search tools, specialists say. Search.renewitnow.co might present them to you too, so despite the fact that it looks harmless and allows you to open certain third-party websites quicker (it contains easy-access buttons on its main page), go to eliminate this suspicious search tool from all web browsers. If you let it stay and even use it as your default search tool, you might experience problems. For example, if you accidentally click on one of those untrustworthy search results shown by Search.renewitnow.co, you might end up straight on an untrustworthy third-party page where you might find anything. We cannot promise that all quick-access buttons located on the main page of Search.renewitnow.co will open only trustworthy pages as well. The presence of untrustworthy search results and redirections to dubious pages administered by third parties are not the only drawbacks the search tool we are talking about in this article has. This Polarity Technologies product might also violate the user’s online privacy too, according to experienced specialists working at pcthreat.com.

If you open the Privacy Policy document of Search.renewitnow.co, you will find a disturbing sentence there: "BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO GRANT POLARITY PERMISSION TO COLLECT YOUR URLS AND SEARCH DATA, INCLUDING SEARCH QUERIES THAT MAY CONTAIN PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, SHARE THEM WITH THIRD PARTIES, AND USE SEARCH-RELATED COOKIES." To put it differently, Search.renewitnow.co will also record personally-identifiable information entered by users in a search box. It will be recorded even if it has been entered accidentally. Then, it might be shared with third parties. Unfortunately, nobody knows anything about them, so cyber criminals might be among them. Personally-identifiable information is not the only type of information which will be recorded, of course. Non-personally identifiable information, e.g. technical details and information about users’ interests will be collected too. You can stop this from happening by removing this dubious search tool from all browsers, so you should definitely not postpone its removal. After getting rid of this dubious search tool, install security software and enable it to protect your PC from malware 24/7. Our security specialists recommend users to stop downloading software from suspicious third-party pages (e.g. filewon.com and malavida.es) too because malware is usually placed on such websites and is waiting for users on them.

Go to remove Search.renewitnow.co as soon as possible because serious issues might arise for you if you do not do anything soon. It should not be very hard to delete this website from the place of your homepage – it will leave browsers alone if you reset them to their default settings. It can also be eliminated automatically too, i.e. an automatic tool can delete it for you. In this case, you will have the only job – to launch the scanner after installing it on your computer.
