BuenoSearch is a legitimate application, and despite some misleading information on the Web, it is not classified as a browser hijacker. The search tool has its own official website, but it is delivered bundled with freeware in order to save on distribution costs. This information is posted on the official webpage of the product. Once installed, BuenoSearch changes your default search engine and home page to info.buenosearch.com. BuenoSearch is considered a potentially unwanted program because of the annoying behaviour it displays that many users find intolerable.
BuenoSearch Uses Cookies to Automatically Gather Information
In case you did not install BuenoSearch knowingly, but it appears as your default search engine or homepage, you have probably acquired it together with some freeware you have downloaded online. Every time you download free software or programs, such as video players, PDF readers, etc. you need to pay close attention to the installation steps. This may save you the time and trouble of removing potentially unwanted programs and applications later on.
Although BuenoSearch is not malicious in its nature, there are a few things about this application that appear quite disturbing.
- The search tool uses cookies to gather information automatically about the user’s browsing habits.
- The search results BuenoSearch presents are relevant, but you can never know what kind of links may also be embedded in them.
- BuenoSearch displays annoying advertisements along with the search results.
BuenoSearch’s Privacy Statement reveals some rather bothering facts that many users may skip on reading. First of all, BuenoSearch keeps track of the download and browsing activities of the user. The application collects data, such as URL address, IP address, operating system, etc., which allegedly is used to improve the browsing experience and provide the user with relevant and better search results.
Because BuenoSearch is distributed along with freeware, it is directly related to third parties. The Toolbar and Search Software may incorporate third party content, software or services, for which Privacy Statements and Terms of Use BuenoSearch does not take responsibility. BuenoSearch also does not assume liability for the content of the sites the user browses as a result of his search queries. Therefore, is it only rational to assume that the user may end up browsing unsafe, or at least, questionable webpages that may expose the user’s system to threats.

How to Remove BuenoSearch from Windows.
Step 1: Boot Your PC In Safe Mode to isolate and remove BuenoSearch





Step 2: Uninstall BuenoSearch and related software from Windows
Here is a method in few easy steps that should be able to uninstall most programs. No matter if you are using Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP, those steps will get the job done. Dragging the program or its folder to the recycle bin can be a very bad decision. If you do that, bits and pieces of the program are left behind, and that can lead to unstable work of your PC, errors with the file type associations and other unpleasant activities. The proper way to get a program off your computer is to Uninstall it. To do that:



Step 3: Clean any registries, created by BuenoSearch on your computer.
The usually targeted registries of Windows machines are the following:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
You can access them by opening the Windows registry editor and deleting any values, created by BuenoSearch there. This can happen by following the steps underneath:



Before starting "Step 4", please boot back into Normal mode, in case you are currently in Safe Mode.
This will enable you to install and use SpyHunter 5 successfully.
