Earth Maps malicious extension

So we have already mentioned that this infection is operating as browser add-on and it is called “Earth Maps”. It is supposed to provide you with fast and efficient access to various maps, but in reality you won’t get any functionality out of it.

In case this add-on is already on your web browser, it will automatically set new tab page to www.search.searchjsmem.com and this website will appear every time you open a new tab. Some users find it to be OK, but we recommend to avoid it – there are several reasons why.

First of all, promised interactive web maps are nothing more than just a bunch of links on a toolbar. Some of them are legitimate, while others not so much. You can end up on a dangerous website affiliated to Polarity Technologies LTD, thus clicking on any of them is not a good idea.

Then there is a search function that will allow you to search the web, much like Google or Yahoo. In facts, this website employs Yahoo search engine to deliver results, so naturally you would think that they are trustworthy. That’s not actually true because results displayed there can be modified and you can be exposed to irrelavant and malicious links.

Last but not least, you might also lose your private information, because search queries submitted to Search.searchjsmem.com are recorded and might be leaked to third parties later on.
