How does Search.socialdownloadr.com work?

The reason SocialDownloadr Toolbar is classified as a potentially unwanted program is because it is known to get distributed in free software bundles. You may acquire it accidentally. Freeware often travels with additional apps attached to it. These apps are rarely useful, which is why it is best to avoid them at all times. You can do that if you choose Advanced or Custom installation mode and decline all optional offers presented to you in the wizard.

Another issue with the toolbar is that it modifies your browser settings. This is where Search.socialdownloadr.com comes in. This site gets set as your home page and default search provider as soon as you install the application. It contains a search box, search parameters, and links to About Us, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Contact Us. If you enter a query into the box, you will be presented with results that include sponsored ads. We do not recommend trusting these as well as other advertisements that may be brought to you by the hijacker. The adverts are not endorsed by the program, so they could easily be fake. If you do not want to risk infecting your computer with malware or falling victim to some other online scam, you should delete Search.socialdownloadr.com and its related program without hesitation.
