FindWide.com

FindWide is a browser extension and toolbar that may not be desired by all users. It is designed to take control of the user's web browser in order to alter the search provider and redirect searches to a specific search engine partner with whom the publisher has a revenue relationship. The undesirable behaviors of FindWide include changing the default home page of the web browser to an affiliate search portal, modifying the built-in search box and address bar, and altering the functionality of the 'new tab' to launch the modified search portal page. Additionally, the toolbar is capable of automatically updating itself without the user's initiation. It is important for users to be aware of these potential changes and to carefully consider whether or not they want to install and use the FindWide application.
