    Search Adventure is a browser hijacker program from the Adware.BrowseFox family that hijacks your browser's default search engine and changes your homepage. When the extension is installed, it will also display its own Search Adventure page instead of your default home page.
    Search Adventure will also modify the default search provider of your browser so that it first connects search.searchadventure.com, which then redirects you to Yahoo or search.us.com. Last, but not least, this hijacker will install a browser search button that when clicked on allows you to search using the tidesearch.net site.
    How did Search Adventure get on my computer?

    It is important to note that the Search Adventure 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 Adventure program was only created to generate revenue for the developer by displaying advertisements on the yahoo search page. Please use this guide to remove all remnants of the Search Adventure hijacker and any other related programs for free.
