What Is Search.promotearchive.com?
If your searches keep getting redirected to search.promotearchive.com and then to search.yahoo.com, and you haven’t set search.promotearchive.com as your browser’s search engine yourself, then there is likely a browser hijacker installed on your Macbook. A browser hijacker could have been installed together with some free app or with a fake software update. Browser hijackers change some browser settings (search engine, New Tab Page and/or Start Page) to make users visit specific sites time and again, boosting the sites’ traffic and generating more revenue for their owners. A browser hijacker can also show additional ads on sites that users go to. You may follow this step-by-step guide to uninstall the browser hijacker and remove Search.promotearchive.com (Promote Archive) from your Mac.
