Euro-search.net virus - How to remove

Euro-search.net has potential of being formed by the same developing company that devised Eusearch.org and the newly-caught Incognito Start Button extension virus. Website strikes us as either targeting Europeans, or simply making a reference to this union with the logo and title. This domain dates back 1 year, 15th of July to be specific, and researchers stress out that this product does not deserve a spot in users’ operating systems and browsers.

Analysis of this browser hijacker

The malware sample has infected many people from Germany but has spread its net to the regions of Spain, United States of America, United Kingdom and Netherlands. Developing company behind this searching-product does not reveal its actual name and we are only provided with this information: Via Broseta 113, 24128 Bergamo, Italy. Despite having the address, we found it lacking credibility: our research indicated that this location is a restaurant.

To be exact, the issue with this virus is loud and clear: people will be obliged to witness this website as their home page, default search provider and new tab page. This strategy works perfect for generation of web traffic. Of course, the fact that people will be unable to make any modifications to their browsers’ settings also stands in favor of hijackers.

Web traffic to this Euro-search.net has been continuously brought in via referrals. This means that many websites can launch this rogue search engine without warning users about the upcoming reroute. Referrals, direct-access and other ways that hackers can exploit to promote Euro-search.net have paid off to some extent: in the global ranking system of websites, this engine occupies the 485,302 position.

Search engine has a very specific purpose: to find URLs to specific key words. Although Euro-search.net does not indicate to have its search box supported by Google, but we would recognize the website’s layout anywhere. However, the top links will be added for monetization purposes as sponsored content or “ads”.

These highly-recommended domains are troubling and could plan to infect you with malware, spy on your browsing history or even force you to access phishing domains. For instance, rogue version of social networking sites, online banking utilities could be brought on your screen. If user unwisely shares his/her credentials with the domain, the hacker will have no issue in reclaiming money/information from a certain account.

This is clearly an efficiency-consuming search platform that operates with hundreds of third-parties and wishes to raise as much ad-revenue and web traffic as favorable circumstances allow. These objectives will be far more important than serving respectable and relevant results to search queries.

To prevent history from repeating itself, you should not visit any unknown domains and certainly stop visiting websites that have earned a reputation for being either malicious or containing very misleading advertisements. Do not click on unknown promotional content. If some awfully tempting proposition arrived on your screen, we are convinced that hackers are only trying to push your buttons. Also, unknown/rogue applications have always been very hard to resists: why will get anything as long as its free.
