Search.cubokit.com Virus - How to remove

Search.cubokit.com can be nominated for the most reserved browser hijacker which has ever been released. This rouge app was developed by Safe Finder. Its main search page contains only the search bar and the “Search’’ button in blue right below it. No additional toolbars, no shortcuts. The web page is completely desolate. It induces images of north African deserts empty from human inhabitants, occasionally overpassed by the nomad tribes of the native arabs. This may suggest you an air of peacefulness but, after Search.cubokit.com has been installed on your computer’s system, you are about to face a raging tempest brought by this rogue app.

About Search.cubokit.com Browser Hijacker

The first thing you start to observe when Search.cubokit.com has been set up on your computer’s system is that you are always redirected to this URL, whenever you launch your web browser and whichever browser you start. This is an inevitable outcome when a browser hijacker has nested onto one’s machine. Search.cubokit.com browser extension redirects to search.yahoo.com in a new tab page, if a search is performed. This is also another effect of hijackware’s infection, as they typically exploit one of the acknowledged search providers, such as Google, Yahoo or Bing, to display the content, for which display the developers of the program earns commissions from.

Search.cubokit.com generates revenue in the following manner. It makes a mixture from two basic ingredients, that are the sponsored scam advertising sites of 3rd party and the authentic results rendered by Yahoo Search, the main ingredient being the domains of 3rd party. In addition to that, the legitimate websites are not left unleavened, as they are added the scam adds of 3rd party, counterfeiting the native ones in an unequal battle. This is not the end of the story. Search.cubokit.com does also have spyware-like features as it tracks your browsing to give the recorded data to 3rd parties so that the latter could adjust advertisements to the specific user. The more clicks they receive, the more money the developers of Search.cubokit.com rogueware earns. This has an opposite impact on the user, who is put in the pot of boiling water, as these scam ads reroute to potentially malware infected web pages.
