Browser hijackers are the most commonly encountered malware at this time because they are easy to set up and distribute. We have recently analyzed Games4Tab.com, a seemingly legitimate search engine that we had to classify as a browser hijacker due to its deceptive dissemination tactics.

Yarhoot.com

Mywebtopic.com
Not all the websites that look like search tools are really trustworthy search providers. Some of them only pretend to be good to stay longer. Mywebtopic.com is one of these websites having an interface of an ordinary search tool but performing undesirable activities. It has been developed by 4Yendex, and it is somehow associated with a browser hijacker Hao123.com.

Funnysite123.com
Funnysite123.com might be the newest addition to the Elex family of browser hijackers, e.g. youndoo.com, trotux.com, and so on.

Our specialists found out that the search tool may use a modified version of google.com to collect the results.

Chromestart.info
Do not mistake Chromestart.info for a useful and trustworthy search provider because it is just another browser hijacker that, most likely, was created by an unreliable party. It is possible that this infection was created by malicious advertisers because all that it can do is promote ads. Although it looks like a search tool, it cannot actually help you browse the web. The results it shows are represented via Google Custom Search, and sponsored links can be included. Note that this search provider can be adjusted by whoever is using it, and, of course, if malicious parties get involved, they could easily attach unreliable and misleading links. ...

Startpageing123.com
Startpageing123.com is not an ordinary search engine despite the fact that it has a search box placed in the middle. After carrying out research, it is already clear what it is for researchers at 411-spyware.com. They have no doubts now that Startpageing123.com is nothing more than a browser hijacker disguised as a legitimate search tool. Just like other search engines that are set on users’ browsers without permission, it has not been developed to enable users to search the web more efficiently. Most probably, it is a tool to generate revenue for the developer by promoting third-party websites. ...
