Things to learn about UFindMedia.com browser hijacker

UFindMedia.com virus has become shockingly popular because, according to estimated web traffic report, it receives 177,861 visitors daily. It was officially-released in March of 2015 and received its last modification in June of 2017. This means that creators are continuing to manage their search platform despite the negative evaluations that it has received from security researchers.

Much to our surprise, the owner of this engine does not conceal its identity. George Memphis from HONG KONG is identified as the controller of this website. UFindMedia.com is not the sole product by this independent developer as we have discovered a bunch of other browser hijackers by the same Memphis guy: Urbooklibrary.com, Instafilez.com, Urmusiczone.com. According to the analysis, revealing which countries generate the most traffic to UFindMedia.com, we learned that India is the clear leader, but United States do not fall very far behind.

This website is clearly problematic and should remain as your browsers’ preference. If could be that this domain arrives together with a sneaky and stealthy add-on which is the reason why your home pages, default search providers and new tab pages are no longer controlled by you.

As we have mentioned above, UFindMedia.com is listed as malware so even though it looks ok to you, don’t use it. Using this website might lead you to various cyber security problems.

First of all, if you search for something using UFindMedia.com, a lot of sponsored results will appear. Those results tend to be not related to your search queries, thus you will waste your time this way. Moreover, those links might lead you to malicious websites so we do not recommend to click on any of them.

If it happens so that you click on the link sponsored by UFindMedia.com you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your money.

UFindMedia.com can be described as advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep UFindMedia.com installed on your computer, various hackers and scammers will be able to reach you right on your web browsers on a daily basis. And that’s very dangerous.

That’s why you should always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware – opt out for a custom or advance install mode if possible, to be able to see all available options. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside – immediately cancel the installation because it can possibly be UFindMedia.com or any other malware that you don’t want to keep on your computer. It’s also recommended to keep your computer secured with anti-malware tools all the time.
