We must admit that SearchLock is an intrusive piece of software that compromises the web browser's settings and prevents users from initiating regular browsing activities.
Nevertheless, SearchLock does not deserve being called a virus. It servers as a browser-based plug-in, so it cannot directly harm the machine in any way. The main problem with this dubious extension is that it hijacks web browser's settings and starts displaying intrusive pop-ups during web browsing and causing redirects to affiliated websites. That's the way this tool generates income, so don't be surprised.
Browser hijackers like this one are programmed in a way to maintain persistence, which is why users cannot find direct uninstallers or extension disable options. Therefore, if you are facing difficulties in SearchLock removal, we strongly recommend you to scan the machine with a professional anti-malware program while the system is rebooted into Safe Mode. Upon malware elimination, open the hijacked web browser (Chrome or Firefox) and reset the settings to default. You can find a full guide on how to remove SearchLock malware in the 2spyware website.
