What is Snapsearch?

Snapsearch is classified as an adware program. It belongs to SuperWeb LLC, a company known for creating such useless applications as Yula, SaveOn, SunriseBrowse, Techgile, HypeNet, Fortunitas and more. These applications all work in a similar manner. They enter your PC and start flooding your with commercials. Snapsearch is no different. Its official page may describe it as a useful tool that will improve your browsing experience, but that is not the case. Its only purpose is to generate web traffic, which is why you should not hesitate to eliminate Snapsearch from your system.

How does Snapsearch work?

The official page of the program, snapsearch.co, does not provide you with a working download link. You should not confuse the adware with other applications that have the same name and are promoted at snapsearch.io and snapdeal.com. None of them are affiliated with each other. SuperWeb’s ad-supported application gets distributed via freeware and shareware bundles. It is offered to you during the installation process and if you do not decline this offer, you install it automatically. It is possible that you have not even noticed doing so. Next time you install freeware, make sure that you pay attention to every installation step and deselect all applications that are unfamiliar to you.

As it has already been mentioned, Snapsearch inserts adverts into all of your browsers, expect for the latest version of Google Chrome. The adware makes it impossible to surf the Web without getting constantly distracted. The problem with its advertisements, which are usually labeled “Powered by Snapsearch”, “Ads by Snapsearch” and similar, is that not all of the are legitimate. You will encounter fake ads and if you click on them, you will end up on corrupted pages. This may lead to various unwanted consequences including malware infections. Another aspect of the application that you should be aware of is that it collects your data and sells is to non-affiliated third parties. If you you are not comfortable with that, you should delete Snapsearch as soon as you can.
