You already know that this infection is operating as browser add-on. That means in order to infect your computer, this malware has to be added to your web browsers.

You should also know that additional files will be placed in folders on your computer, so it’s not enough to just disable the add-on to completely eliminate this infection.

This particular virus is rather interesting and a little bit different from other browser hijackers. Why? Well, first of all, there are two completely different websites on the same domain. Jambands.com looks like a completely legitimate websites, a well known music blog, owned by Relix Media Group LLC. We failed to identify any signs of malicious traits on this website as well as any connections to this browser hijacker. Search.jambands.com is completely different website, however, placed on the subdomain www.searchjambands.com.

If you take a look at the Privacy Policy or Contact details on search.jambands.com website, you won’t be able to identify any legal information regarding the owned of the website. That’s the main reason why we do not recommend to use this tool – it’s very dangerous.

Speaking of information collected  by this tool, it’s not very dangerous – they claim to not collect your personal information and don’t disclose it to third parties. However, they can use some of the data about you, such as IP address or demographic location just to make your user experience on their website better. That’s completely normal.

Now, the search engine provided by this website will redirect you to www.boxo-search.com. And that’s where the trick is. Boxo-search.com is a computer virus, browser hijacker as well. You can read our article about it and learn why you should not be using it. Most probably search.jambands.com gets paid for redirecting web traffic to this website and gets paid for that. So if your computer is infected with Search.jambands.com malware, you will be automatically exposed to double threat. That is why we suggest to get rid of this infection as soon as possible.

Remove Search.jambands.com from your computer

Removing this infection consists of two separate parts – you have to clean your web browsers and computer. Complete removal might also require some editing of registry entries, so that can be pretty complicated. To make things easier, you should get yourself a reliable anti-malware program, such as Spyhunter. One of those programs will automatically detect the location of infection and remove it from your computer. Unfortunately, there will be still some job left to do manually. Anti-malware software can’t modify settings on your web browsers and this virus will automatically set www.search.jambands.com as a homepage and default search engine, so you will have to change those setting by yourself. However, this will only be effective if you do it after the removal of virus from your computer.
