What is Pro Search Tip?

Pro Search Tip is an extension for Safari and Chrome, that claim to provide the best search result in the browser, which can improve the browsing experience. The intention of its author behind the development of this extension is to generate revenue by displaying ads and using resources from the infected computer. However, it is not as dangerous as malware, but it is also capable of executing unsafe activities in the system that can cause serious problems.

On the outside, such apps, with their adverts, page-redirects and homepage replacements, are more of an annoyance than something inherently harmful. However, keeping an app in your browser that can set a new search engine or add new toolbar buttons with questionable functions, and all that without your permission, is certainly not advisable. Even if your browser has overall high security like Firefox, Chrome or Safari, you should still not let an app the likes of Pro Search Tip to have control over your browser’s settings. Trusting any search engine tool or toolbar that have been imposed on your browser without your permission is certainly not the safest thing to do. Remember, you should have full control over the settings of your browser so that you know exactly what’s happening with it. Anything less than that is unacceptable if you are determined to keep your computer secure. This is exactly why the presence of a software component like Pro Search Tip in the computer is something undesirable – its custom search engine is likely optimized to show you modified results that bring you to pages and sites that the hijacker has been programmed to advertise.

Not to mention the stream of adverts, automatic page-redirect services and other similar intrusive activities that are likely to be taking place as long as the invasive software piece stays in the computer. All of this is not only highly irritating and obstructive but could also put your computer’s safety at risk.
