About MyLuckySearching.com browser hijacker

As you can see in the picture below, MyLuckySearching.com looks like a regular search engine:

However, it is not the reliable one. First of all, if you try to search for something via MyLuckySearching.com, your search will be operated through Yahoo search engine, so there is no point to use it.

Additionally, the search page design closely mimics that of google. This might cause confusion and show unexpected results.

Ads delivered by MyLuckySearching.com can come in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisements can be opened at any time as well.

Usually ads displayed by MyLuckySearching.com appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods or services at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads. Again – to make profits this way.

This infection operates as browser add-on and can be aded to all most popular web browsers out there, including Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

It’s worth to mention that even if you remove this infection from your computer and web browsers, there will be still some work left to do in order to vanish this virus completely. Since MyLuckySearching.com is listed as browser hijacker, it will set both homepage and default search engine to www.MyLuckySearching.com website. To change that, go to the settings section of your web browser and set it to Google, Yahoo or other legitimate website you prefer.

At the moment, the main page of the hijacker redirects visitors to google. However, the search hijack still works and uses yahoo search engine to display results.

Distribution Methods of MyLuckySearching.com browser hijacker

MyLuckySearching.com usually travels bundled with other freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For example, if you download and install some free flash game or application from unreliable website, there is a chance that MyLuckySearching.com will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that happening. So to avoid infections like this, try to be very patient when installing freeware and pay close attention even to the tiniest details. It also would be wise to keep your computer secured with reliable anti-malware software all the time.
