Sadly, when you visit these affiliate websites, you can be exposed to dangerous content, such as spyware or malware applications or scam surveys that try to trick users into providing personally identifiable data such as name or email address, which can be added to spammers’ databases later on. The scheme used to generate pay-per-click income is very simple: each time when the user clicks on a sponsored link, actors behind this search engine make profits. In most cases, the bad guys fill it with their ads which are set to redirect victims to sponsored websites and earn them the money. However, it is not the same search engine you would use after adding it to your browser consciously. It appears that there are numerous potentially unwanted programs (PUP) that have been set to trick people into using or one of its versions. Such changes can be reversed only if you get rid of the potentially unwanted application related to this hihacker permanently. After being included in the optional components of the freeware, it changes the default search engine, new tab URL, and home page to its own.


However, this term is wrong as this search engine does not harm any computer systems intentionally. Also known as “Russia's Yahoo,” the site has been actively called as virus by computer users who had this program installed by stealth technique called bundling.
