How did Simolesr.com got inside of my computer?

9 times out of 10 infections like this (browser hijackers) gets installed alongside other software. It is called bundling – you download some free software from the Internet, and during the installation you are asked to install some additional and useful tools, that can be malware like this. Actually, you are not even asked as those options are set to be default, so if you just run through them without paying too much attention to it, Simolesr.com will get installed on your web browsers.

This tool operates as browser extension and creates some files on your computer. So in order to efficiently remove it, you will have to both clean your web browsers and computer.

How does Simolesr.com operate?

Simolesr.com can be described as a typical browser hijacker – it pretends to be legitimate website that looks useful, but in reality only seeks to make money by redirecting web traffic, collecting and selling private information or displaying advertisements. It looks like in this case, Simolesr.com is trying to make money by displaying sponsored links. It does not feature an unique search engine, but instead of that uses custom Google search. They are trying to make this tool look legitimate and at the same time they can configure the search results and display links to affiliated websites. The problem is that those results most of the time are not even relevant to what you are searching for, so you will be simply wasting your time. What’s more, we suggest not to click on them because you can end-up on the website that is owned by cyber criminals.

Another malicious feature – collecting private data. And by private data we mean your web browsing habits, personal interests, email and ip addresses and information about your software and hardware. This data is very valuable because it can be used to target advertisements or other malware to you. Simolesr.com might transfer this sensitive information to third parties and make money out of it.

Finally, malware like this can be the reason why your computer is running slow or why you are experiencing random crashes and freezes of web browsers. That’s just another reason to get rid of malware like this right now.
