Mongo Search

Posted: June 3, 2020

The Mongo Search is a browser add-on that promises to enhance the Web browsing and searching experience of its users by introducing them to a brand new set of search utilities. However, the truth is that Mongo Search is nothing more than a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that promises a lot of exciting features but always fails to deliver. Users who install it will notice only one major change – their default new tab page will be changed to Browser.mongosearch.net. If the users opt to use this page's search feature, their query will be redirected to Yahoo Search.

While using Mongo Search and the page it promotes is not a security concern, you should be aware that the whole purpose of Mongo Search is to generate ad revenue for its users – it does not intend to help you in any way. If you are unhappy with the service that this PUP offers, then you should proceed to remove it either via your browser's add-on manager or with the help of suitable PC security software.
