User Reviews of the "searchsettings.exe"

  • THREATrating from user Felicity (Variant: 4114)

    Obnoxious 'tool' that changes default search engine to Yahoo. Repeatedly. Despite my custom settings within the various browsers I use. Despite removal attempts via HijackThis. I never downloaded "Dealio" their toolbar. I 'acquired' this malware after MS Security Essentials detected password stealer and remote permissions viruses on my device.
