Search Hub is a browser hijacker that modifies your browser so that it uses www.searchhub.info as your home page and search engine. Furthermore, it will install a copy of Privoxy and configure your computer's Internet settings to send all web traffic through it. This allows it to monitor the web sites you are visiting and inject advertisements.

Search Hub is a browser hijacker that modifies your browser so that it uses www.searchhub.info as your home page and search engine. Furthermore, it will install a copy of Privoxy and configure your computer's Internet settings to send all web traffic through it. This allows it to monitor the web sites you are visiting and inject advertisements.
While running, Search Hub will also display popunder ads while browsing the web. These ads will be for porn sites, further adware downloads, or remote tech support scams. While testing this program it displayed advertisements for the sites easygirls.com and windowserrornote.info.
It is important to note that the Search Hub 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.
In my opinion, the Search Hub program was only created to generate advertising revenue for the developer and provides no benefit for the user. Therefore, I feel if you have this program installed you should remove it from your computer. You can use the following guide to remove Search Hub for free.
