2020Search is an Internet Explorer search toolbar with a silent update feature and also bundles additional adware such as ShopNav.
When installing 2020Search, ShopNav was bundled with the installation but not mentioned in the EULA.
2020search makes changes to browser settings ,hides itself from the user and stays resident in background.
Some indication point to a relationship between 2020 search and CoolWebSearch, a very bad piece of spyware.
