QuickSearch is an adware program that injects advertisements into web commerce sites that you are searching on. Whenn searching on sites such as Amazon or Ebay, QuickSearch will inject their own advertisements into the top of the pages. Strangely, these advertisements were for sites in the Netherlands even though I am based in the United States. When these ads are displayed they will be labeled Sponsored Ads.

It is important to note that the QuickSearch is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers youÂ*CustomÂ*orÂ*AdvancedÂ*installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
I feel that the QuickSearch adware was created for the sole purpose of generating revenue for the developers and provides no benefit to the user. Please use this guide to remove all remnants of the QuickSearch adware and any other related programs for free.
