AssistiveUnit is a search engine that replaces the default search provider for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox after installing a toolbar from les-pages.com, info-programme-tv.fr, or meteo- de-france.info. it allows computer users to access Facebook, eBay, YouTube and other sites with just one click. This site looks like a search engine that provides you with relevant search results, but the sad truth is if you have been infected with a browser hijacker.

However, if you try to use your search engine, you will see that AssistiveUnit makes use of Yahoo! Your clicks, URLs you enter in the address box and your search terms can also be recorded. If so, you have to be extremely cautious because additional software can be installed along with those programs that you download from the internet. therefore, you must define Google, Yahoo! Unfortunately, in this case, multiple dangerous or dubious programs could be installed on the system and therefore, you must examine the operating system.

If you do the free installation automatically, you probably won't notice the steps that allow you to choose not to install AssistiveUnit on your PC. First, be sure to avoid several third-party download sites as they provide software packages, which is often used to disperse dubious programs. Do not install the application if you are not fully aware of the changes that will be made to your browsers after you agree to the terms.
