About this hijacker

Searcheasyplus.com is a browser hijacker that promises a quick, simple and uncluttered search experience. Browser hijackers are minor infections that generally don’t cause harm but they aren’t recommended to keep on the computer. They change browser’s settings, set their promoted sites as homepages/new tabs and try to redirect users to sponsored websites. Those redirects are the main purpose of such hijackers. While they aren’t malicious themselves, they can still bring about trouble. You could be led to a malicious website, where malware could download onto your device. Therefore, it’s important that you don’t use hijacker services. Hijackers tend to offer somewhat useful features so that users consider keeping them installed, but those features can easily be accessed elsewhere, thus making hijackers useless. And it would be best if you just delete Searcheasyplus.com.

If you don’t remember downloading it, it could have been added to freeware as an extra offer. The so called bundling method is common among unwanted program developers, and it still works because users are notoriously careless when installing programs.
