Search.searchtmpn.com Removal Guide

Do you know what Search.searchtmpn.com is?

Why is Search.searchtmpn.com set as your default search provider or homepage or is represented via the New Tab? Is it because you specifically wanted this tool as your main search provider? Or is it because you were forced to accept it when installing a seemingly beneficial extension? According to our malware research team, Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer users are likely to find the “Track Package” add-on attractive because it is meant to help with package tracking. Do you really have that many packages you need to track that you require an extension to help you? Even if that is the case, you should find a better and more reliable tool because “Track Package” is primarily a hijacker, and trusting it is not what you need to be doing. Since you are reading this report, the chances are that you already have made up your mind about deleting Search.searchtmpn.com, but if you are still unsure about whether or not you should remove it, please keep reading.

Polarity Technologies Ltd. is the creator of Search.searchtmpn.com and “Track Package,” but it does not look like an official installer for this software was set up. You can download clone extensions from trackpackage.co and trackpackagenow.com, but they represent Search.searchtmpn2.com and Search.searchtpn.com browser hijackers. As you can tell by their names, they are very similar to the suspicious Search.searchtmpn.com. Our analysis of these hijackers has shown that they all have the same interface too. This is not surprising, considering that all Polarity Technologies Ltd. hijackers (e.g., Search.weatherradarforecast.co or Search.searchtzc.com) look the same. That being said, they often represent unique links, and these three are completely identical. They even show the same search field via which you supposedly can track your packages. This is not the search field we need to focus on. We recommend deleting the hijacker because of the actual search field.Search.searchtmpn.com Removal GuideSearch.searchtmpn.com screenshot

Redirecting in itself is unauthorized, and that is why you should become very suspicious.

Yahoo Search is exploited for its good name, but the modifications are made by the hijacker. You certainly can use this well-known and respected search tool, but only if you get rid of the hijacker first. Are you ready to remove Search.searchtmpn.com? Before you start the process, perform a complete system scan to check if this hijacker is the only threat you need to handle.
