Remove Search.com Bar by Visicom Media inc

This is a Visicom toolbar installed in your Web browser that collects and stores information about your web browsing habits and sends this information to Visicom so they can suggest services or provide ads via the toolbar. Most of the traffic is sent to the urlseek.vmn.net subdomain, which seems to be associated with error-redirects of the VMN toolbar (installed in the enduser's web browser as part of various third-party products). This toolbar is known to monitor your search queries and browsing habits in order to send you targeted ads and modify your search settings and results.

The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named searchcom_001.dll. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 5 files and is usually about 1.7 MB (1,786,652 bytes).
