Search-it.cc is a type of adware that is designed to deliver intrusive advertisements to users’ web browsers. Once installed on a computer, Search-it.cc will display pop-up ads, banners, and other types of advertisements that interfere with the user’s browsing experience. These ads are often targeted based on the user’s browsing history and can be particularly annoying and difficult to remove.
Search-it.cc typically infects computers and browsers through software bundles, where it is bundled with legitimate software downloads and installed alongside them without the user’s knowledge. It can also be spread through malicious websites and phishing emails that trick users into clicking on infected links. Once installed, Search-it.cc will modify the browser settings to display unwanted ads and collect data on the user’s browsing habits, which can be used for targeted advertising. Users are advised to be cautious when downloading software from the internet and to regularly scan their computers for adware and other potentially unwanted programs.
