Tavanero Search is a new fake search engine released by the developers of rogue software. This rogue search engine exploits Google Search to build its fictitious reliability. Its logo ‘‘Search’’ is painted in Google’s colors and the search bar includes a proposition, ‘‘GoogleTM Custom Search’’. Tavanero.info seems to be presented as a kind of affiliate search engine with Google. But, in very truth, this malicious program is neither the product of Google’s affiliate nor subsidiary company, or any other related. Tavanero Search is a cheap mockery of the latter legitimate and acknowledged search provider. And it has set its sights on deceiving you.
About Tavanero.info Browser Hijacker
When your computer is infected with Tavanero.info program, your default homepage, search engine and a new tab page are all called off. Instead you are redirected to tavanero.info/tavanero/tavanero.php which, in turn, reroutes you to tavanero.info, each and every time you launch your web browser or browsers (if you have more than one installed on your computer’s system). These changes are permanent in the sense that you cannot cancel them by restoring your previous browser settings. Your new main page now displays two big advertising windows under the search bar, which display different ads each time you load the URL of Tavanero Search. These two big advertisements are not the only advertising content you are going to be displayed by the latter rogue search engine.
Tavanero.info browser hijacker will poke advertising content of bogus 3rd party advertisers in every place possible. After some time, these phony adverts will feel like someone’s fingers jabbed in your ribs. They will be implanted in the authentic websites rendered by Google and the scam sites of 3rd party, promoted by Tavanero.info, will be teemed with them. It will be hard not to click on them, even though you do not intend to. You will be tracked for the purpose of personalizing this fake advertising content to you. Your PC will start to act strangely and your web browser will soon completely lose its mind. They will seem to enter the condition of catalepsy. You need to do something about it to help your PC out.
How does Tavanero.info Browser Hijacker Start to Poison Your Computer?
”One man’s meat is another man’s poison” would not be the saying which would characterize Tavanero.info application, since it has no useful features to be left on one computer’s system. However, this ‘‘poison’’ is brought about on one’s device disguised as ‘‘meat’’, since such free programs as Flash Players or PDF Creators are the carriers, which distribute such PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) as Tavanero.info on one’s PC. This occurs when the user implements the procedure of installation in the Default settings, merely clicking the ‘‘Next’’ button. The PUPs are revealed and made optional only in the Advanced settings, in which the setup of freeware should be performed.
