Like most of the browser hijackers, Search.searchmmap.com should replace user’s default browser preferences, and it may display modified search results. In such case, if you continue using the application, with time it might start showing unreliable pop-ups, banners, sponsored ads, or even other content that could be promoting suspicious third-party software, doubtful web pages, sites with malicious content, etc. Naturally, because of this, we would advise users to remove the browser hijacker before it has the chance to display any harmful content. ...

According to our researchers, Trump Locker Ransomware was created by the cyber criminals who stand behind VenusLocker Ransomware, an infamous threat that we have analyzed a while ago. This malware was designed to slither in without your notice, encrypt your personal files, and force you into paying a ransom in return of their decryption. Whether or not cyber crooks would decrypt the files after receiving the expected payment is unknown, which is why it is very tricky to discuss this payment. Although this might be your only option, it is possible that the files would stay locked after paying it, which is why it would be irresponsible of us to advise following the demands. ...

Search.searchwu.com is yet another suspicious URL which becomes visible after a web browser installed on the affected computer is launched. Because of a distribution method used to spread it and the fact that users do not give it direct permission to change all their browsers’ settings, it has been classified as a browser hijacker. Researchers working at 411-spyware.com have already seen a number of identical pages based on the same template, so it was really easy for them to find out what the main goal of Search.searchwu.com is. According to them, Search.searchwu.com, just like many other search providers, including search.youremailnow.com and search.yourmapscenter.com, has been developed to generate the advertising revenue primarily. ...

You may not even realize that you are giving this modification the green light while installing a whole bundle of questionable programs. ...
