What is Prosearchtip.com?

Prosearchtip.com is a browser hijacker that comes without the user’s knowledge. It is not a virus, but this program can deliver a lot of trouble, so this program is a Potentially Unwanted Program. When Prosearchtip.com ends up on the user’s machine, it sets the homepage and search engine to http://search.prosearchtip.com/. After that, all search queries will be redirected to other search engines like Yandex (Russian search engine) or Yahoo. Also, Prosearchtip.com will begin displaying advertising content, such as banner ads, coupons, links to other sites and advertisements. Browser hijacker modifies system configuration and creates new entries in Profiles to make removal difficult. You may follow this guide to get rid of browser hijacker and completely remove Prosearchtip.com from your Mac.
