What is Mazy Search

Mazy Search is a browser hijacker that may appear on your device and resist to be deleted. In most cases, it gets on users’ computers together with freeware programs. Despite the nice design of the start page, it has very controversial features, such as collecting personal data. Developers share this information with their third-party service providers and it is determined in the privacy policy. Another unpleasant feature of this threat is annoying pop-ups and banners with tons of advertisements that will literally flood your browser. The hijacker makes changes to the system and browser configuration giving itself extra permissions so it’s not that easy to get rid of. It blocks removal by displaying the following messages: “Your browser is managed by your organization”, “Installed by enterprise policy”, and so on. To completely remove Mazy Search from your browser and operating system, you may follow the instructions given below in this article.
