Should you find Searchatomic.com installed without permission, you need to remove it as soon as possible. Only unreliable and malicious programs can enter illegally, and this kind of software could put your virtual security at risk. Our researchers identify this suspicious search provider as a browser hijacker, but this category does not fit if you acquired this search tool yourself. Unfortunately, even this does not change the fact that you should remove Searchatomic.com. As you might have noticed already, this search tool does not work, and this is one of the few reasons to get rid of this hijacker.

If Searchatomic.com was installed without your permission, it is possible that other malicious programs got in without your notice as well. Although Searchatomic.com is unreliable, there are many unreliable and malicious programs that are much more dangerous and intrusive than this hijacker. If you are struggling with the identification of unreliable programs, run a malware scanner. Even if the programs installed along with the hijacker look harmless, you should inspect them as well. Needless to say, if you discover malicious programs that require removal, you need to eliminate them as soon as possible.

Searchatomic.com is identical to Exciterewards.com. This search provider is another browser hijacker, and it is just as useless as its counterpart. The interfaces of these hijackers and the information that represents them are identical, but we do not know who has created them, which is a problem. All in all, it is obvious that both of these programs are identical, which suggests that their creator is creating multiple advertising platforms. Did you know that Searchatomic.com can show ads? According to our researchers, this hijacker is likely to show modified search results and inject sponsored links, which is another important reason to delete it from your browsers.

The last reason to delete Searchatomic.com from your browsers is the activity of cookies. As disclosed via the Privacy Policy at searchatomic.com/privacy, cookies could be installed by third-party advertisers to collect information, and it is stated that the creator of the hijacker “cannot control this collection of information.” Do you want potentially unreliable parties spying on you? We are sure that you do not, especially since these parties are unlikely to have your best interest. Therefore, you should wait no more to remove Searchatomic.com from your Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox browsers.

If you installed Searchatomic.com bundled with malware, you have to delete it as soon as possible. Since this hijacker only affects the homepage of your web browsers, you should be able to get rid of it using a few simple steps presented below. Once you delete Searchatomic.com from your browsers, eliminate the remaining computer infections right away. If you cannot get rid of malware manually, implement a tool (e.g., SpyHunter) that will clean your Windows operating system for you. Should you choose the manual removal option, do not forget to employ a security tool that could guard your virtual security reliably. Note that if this software does not exist, malware will slither in sooner or later.
