Games4Tab.com virus is one of the older browser hijackers that was designed by Prssto Inc., company. Therefore, the respectability of these developers could easily be questioned.

What should be known about this search platform?

Entered search queries receive responses in a page that looks awfully a lot like the one from Google, but creators of Ezy-search.com virus made sure to eliminate some of the distinguishing elements that would resemble Google. The rogue version of the search results does not feature links to other Google services, and continues to posses links to EULA and Privacy Policy sections of Prss.to. Since in no event shall the controllers of this bogus search engine, together with its affiliates, partners or suppliers, be liable for any incidental, indirect, exemplary, punitive and consequential damages, lost profits, damages resulting from lost data or business interruption.

Clearly there are several security issues that people should consider before agreeing to have the latter search engine as their preference. Third-party engines could be specifically interested in revenue from online advertisements and redirection. Unreliable search engines, potentially involved in partnerships with vicious third parties, might allow its authorized service providers, affiliates, advertising companies, ad-networks to not only display online ads, but to also place ad tags or beacons.

Web traffic will be raised for specific partners of Ezy-search.com and the rogue search engine itself. Do not be surprised if this engine will be demonstrated as users’ home pages, start pages, error pages, default search provider. Targeted advertisements will be constantly brought onto users’ screens. Later one, the browser hijacker will gauge their effectiveness.

The Privacy Policy explains that two types of information is going to be recorded about visitors of this search engine” anonymous and personal data. Through the use of the site, search service receives a permission to gather certain personal information about users: names, email addresses, info users provide in public forums and social networks.
