Do you know what Search.login-help.net is?
Search.login-help.net is classified as a browser hijacker because it can modify the search settings on Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox browsers. In many cases, computer users agree to these changes without even realizing it, primarily because of the carelessness while downloading the extension that it is packaged with. This extension is called “Login Help,” and it was created by SaferBrowser. This infamous company is associated with many browser extensions that come packaged with browser hijackers, including Search.di-cmf.com, Search.tv-cmf.com, and Search.youremailnow.com. All of these hijackers are identical, and they are equally as unreliable because they do not provide trustworthy services. In fact, they do not even act as normal search tools, despite their appearance. Of course, this is not the main reason why you should remove Search.login-help.net from your browsers.
Users who have downloaded Search.login-help.net are unlikely to have reviewed the Privacy Policy that can be accessed from the homepage of this search engine. This document reveals that this program works with third-party advertising networks, and that information collected by tracking cookies can be shared with them. Although it is stated that only anonymous information is shared, you still have to consider this as a security issue. Furthermore, even if personally-identifiable information is not shared with third parties, you cannot be sure that it will not be used by other programs and services created by the same company. Data collection is one of the reasons to eliminate this hijacker, but the most important reason to get rid of this infection is its pseudo search service. When you enter keywords into the search box provided, you will be instantly redirected to a third-party search engine (search.yahoo.com), and sponsored links will replace some of the useful results. According to our research, most users who encounter this unreliable search service live in the United States (72.2%) and the United Kingdom (18.6%).Search.login-help.net screenshot
