How to remove Searchnewworld.com from Mac

What is Searchnewworld.com?

Searchnewworld.com may appear in your browser and replace your primary search provider out of the blue. If it happened, well, you’ve picked up malware called “browser hijacker”. Restoring settings manually doesn’t solve the problem since the malware reassigns them again. At first sight, there is nothing suspicious because it looks like other search engines like Google or Bing. Nevertheless, the quality of work of Searchnewworld.com leaves much to be desired. Actually, developers of this program make money only through advertising. The program displays altered search results which lead to sponsored and insecure websites containing malicious infections. Just one click is enough to get infected with the virus. Because of a high risk of infection, you are advised to remove Searchnewworld.com from Mac as soon as possible.
