What is 180search Assistant?
180search Assistant is a new way to access free programs and tools to make

from your Internet browser and usually displays two or three advertisers'
websites per day for matching products and services. That means the Search
Assistant will only show advertiser referrals that are specifically related
to websites you visit or keywords you search for. You can search the
Internet with 180search Assistant or you can use your preferred search

Is 180search Assistant Spyware?
Absolutely not! Spyware invades your privacy ... 180search Assistant respects it! The
purpose of spyware is to secretly gather information about your computer usage and the
sites that you visit so it can be sold to advertisers and others. Usually, spyware is
hidden inside another program and downloaded without the user's informed consent.
180search Assistant does not collect or share any information about you with anyone.
Caution: Spyware has the ability to record your keystrokes, passwords and credit card
numbers, scan your hard drive, eavesdrop while you chat, collect your cookies, change
your toolbars and default settings, and continuously transmit your information back
to its database.

Why do I still get so many pop-up ads?

paid advertisers. We will only show two or three advertiser websites per day. Ads
referred by us are identified with: "Brought to you by the 180search Assistant".
