Pro Search TIp

Pro Search TIp is described as “the best search assistant for a great search experience.” Does it mean the application will display more accurate search results than other search engines, such as google.com or search.yahoo.com? Our researchers highly doubt it since it looks like the extension uses a modified google.com version to gather and display the results. Another thing users who encounter this tool ought to know is that the gathered results could be injected with targeted advertising content. Naturally, if you hate targeted ads and do not want to use a search engine that could show them to you, we advise deleting Pro Search Tip. If you decide to do so, we can offer the removal instructions available below the article. However, if you would like to learn more about this extension first, we invite you to have a look at the rest of our report.

To begin with, it is vital to mention that Pro Search Tip is not a malicious application, but according to our researchers, it falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs. Some of them are spread through unreliable channels such as bundled software installers on torrent and other untrustworthy websites. Because of it, some users install such extensions without even realizing it. As you see bundled installers do not always reveal there will be more tools installed if the user does not choose custom/advanced installation settings. Also, in some cases, it is not clear enough that the suggested program can be deselected. Thus, users who rush the installation process can easily overlook bundled software and accept it accidentally. Naturally, to avoid making such mistakes, users should give their full attention to the installation process. Also, it is a good idea to stay away from unreliable file-sharing web pages and to keep a reliable antimalware tool that could warn about suspicious content.

While it is possible Pro Search Tip might be spread with bundled software installers, and some users could receive it this way, it is also possible some users may download it from the tool’s official site (prosearchtip.com) or Chrome Web Store page (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pro-search-tip/hngffaakockchcnjcpckbknpipmbdpfe). According to the given descriptions, the potentially unwanted program can configure the user’s default search engine, although it can do so only to Google Chrome browsers. Of course, users who may receive it accidentally might not like such changes, which is why we call such behavior potentially unwanted. Nonetheless, the shift in search engines could change the user’s browsing experience too. That is because the extension’s search engine could show various advertising material. According to the Pro Search Tip Privacy Policy document, “The Extension and Website may integrate third party content,” and it said this material could include promotions, offers, links to third party websites, and so on.

Furthermore, users who use the potentially unwanted program’s search engine should know that the extension’s developers take no responsibility for the third-party content it might display. Because of the warranty disclaimers and the fact, there is not knowing where the ads could come from, we believe it is possible some of them could be dangerous. For example, they could offer other potentially unwanted programs or tools alike, lead to possibly malicious web pages, invite you to participate in fake surveys, and so on. We do not say you will necessarily come across such content, but if you do not want to take chances, you could erase Pro Search Tip.

The extension can be eliminated via Google Chrome’s Extensions menu. The task should not be too difficult, but if you have no idea where to start, you should have a look at the instructions provided a bit below. You can also remove Pro Search Tip with an antimalware tool. All there is to do is pick a trustworthy tool and perform a full system scan. Make sure you wait until the process is over and then review the detections. To erase them all at the same time just click the displayed deletion button. Afterward, we recommend keeping the chosen tool up to date so it could help you maintain the system clean.
