Search.real-desktop.de is a search engine that may take the place of your default new tab page although you may not remember making or approving this change. This may sound like a weird occurrence, but it is rather common for some poor quality pieces of Software to promote 3rd-party pages like Search.real-desktop.de. The software, in this case, is ‘Real Desktop,’ a utility that allows users to turn their boring Windows desktop in a 3D-animated environment that looks fancier but does not serve any functional purpose.

The Search.real-desktop.de page does not appear to be unreliable since it does not host any advertisements that users might dislike currently. In addition to this, the search feature takes advantage of the Google’s Custom Search function, which means that the results the users would get from Search.real-desktop.de and Google.com are identical. Despite this, Search.real-desktop.de is not a reputable page nor is it associated with Google, so it is entirely possible that its reliable status might change in the future. That’s why we don’t recommend the installation of software that changes the settings of your Web browser by promoting 3rd-party pages whose credibility is questionable.

If you begin to see Search.real-desktop.de in your Web browser on a regular basis, then it is a good idea to identify the source of the problem and remove it to restore your Web browser’s regular state. The ‘Real Desktop’ software is considered a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) and while removing it is not mandatory, it is never a bad idea to remove software of this sort. In some cases, the removal of Real Desktop might not restore the Web browser’s usual settings automatically so that this operation might need to be carried out manually.
