This browser hijacker is mainly distributed in two questionable ways. It is possible that you want to install a browser extension that pushes you to accept certain browser setting modifications that include setting this search engine as your home page or default search engine. It is quite possible that this browser extension in question is a potentially unreliable one, too. You can download such applications in software bundles when downloading free software from questionable torrent or freeware pages. We also need to mention the possibility that you may use official sources as well, such as the Chrome web store, which can also host unreliable extensions until reported as such. Be more careful the next time you install any free software and read the license agreement carefully as well as the installation screens to be aware of the possible browser setting changes and additional tools you may add to your system. But right now it is important that you remove Findyourtermsearch.com if you do not want to risk further system security issues.
