Do you know what Searchnu.com is?
Searchnu.com is a search engine, and it can also become your home page if you install BullVid, iLivid, or any other free application which promotes searchnu.com. When the installer of, for example, BullVid is launched, the user has no option but to choose either to have the home page and the search engine changed or to have a new toolbar installed. Usually, searchnu.com comes along with Search-Results.com, which is set as a search provider. We recommend that you get rid of searchnu.com as this search provider generates advertisements in the form of links and can monitor your browsing habits.
Once your home page is changed to searchnu.com, you will find that the startup page contains links to four recommended websites. With one click you will be able to access Facebook, free game website fantastigames.com, ftalk.com, and YouTube. The search engine is available in 25 languages, and owned by Bandoo Media Inc, which promotes computer software.
