What does Search.searchffn.com do?

The Search.searchffn.com search engine will set itself in the place of your default homepage, and you will also see it every time you open your New Tab page because it will hijack it. At first sight, Search.searchffn.com does not differ from other existing search engines; however, the truth is that it acts like such questionable search engines as search.myinterestsxp.com, search.mytelevisionxp.com, and search.myspeedtestxp.com. Talking more specifically, it is known that this search engine might present users with the modified search results. Actually, this is not very surprising for us specialists because we have managed to observe that Search.searchffn.com redirects all the searches from Search.searchffn.com to Yahoo!. It is very likely that sponsored links are put among the legitimate search results along the way. Unfortunately, it is hard to say which of the links are not associated with the entered keyword. To be honest, it is basically impossible to recognize and thus ignore those unreliable search results. Sadly, it is very dangerous to click on them because a link promoting a bad website run by cyber criminals might be provided for you too, and you might be taken there.

We do not think that Search.searchffn.com can be trusted fully also because it is going to record details about users. Unfortunately, it informs users about that only in its Privacy Policy document available on findformsnow.com:

BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO GRANT Findformsnow.com™ PERMISSION TO COLLECT YOUR URLS AND SEARCH DATA, INCLUDING SEARCH QUERIES THAT MAY CONTAIN PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, SHARE THEM WITH THIRD PARTIES, AND USE SEARCH-RELATED COOKIES

As you can see, unlike other search engines, Search.searchffn.com is going to gather personal information and might send it to third parties, which means that it might violate your privacy. To make sure that this does not happen, get rid of Search.searchffn.com and start using another search engine. The search engine will disappear only if you get rid of the Find Forms Now extension installed on your computer.

Where does Search.searchffn.com come from?

It is probably already clear for you that Search.searchffn.com is promoted by the extension Find Forms Now. This extension can be downloaded from its official website (Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer versions), and it is also available for download at the Chrome Web Store (Google Chrome version). Unfortunately, it is very likely that some users install the extension by clicking on a pop-up advertisement too. Researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have noticed that advertisements shown by such programs as InteliTerm and TermTrident might promote Find Forms Now. Do not click on ads offering you to install software in the future because an undesirable application might immediately appear on your computer. It is also highly recommended to install security software on the system.
