What is Search.yourtransitinfonow.com?
Search.yourtransitinfonow.com is a new featured search engine page that caught our attention for a good reason. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this is a newcomer in the notorious Polarity family of browser hijackers that also includes Search.searchlcll.com and Search.searchtpg.com, just to mention a couple from the dozens that have already seen the light of day on the web. This new search page offers you quick links to travel-related third-party sites as well as a search engine and the usual popular links. Unfortunately, this browser hijacker may expose you to questionable third-party web content that may pose a threat to your system security. It is also possible that this is not the only malware infection on your system; therefore, we recommend that you remove Search.yourtransitinfonow.com right away.
Where does Search.yourtransitinfonow.com come from?
When you find this hijacker in your main browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer, as your home page and default search provider, it is quite likely that you cannot recall installing it. The reason is simple. This malware infection may sneak onto your system when you install a questionable software bundle you download from suspicious file-sharing websites like filewin.com, malavida.es, and descargar.es. Of course, this is not the only way for you to end up with a bundle packed with potentially unwanted applications and malware threats like adware programs, fake alerts, and browser hijackers resulting in your having to delete Search.yourtransitinfonow.com and a bunch of other threats on top.
Another option is that you click on an unsafe third-party advertisement or a compromised link on a shady website or generated by malware infections already hiding on your system. Please note that it is always risky to click on third-party ads if your system is not protected by an up-to-date anti-malware program. In this case, if your PC is infected, you are not even safe on otherwise reputable websites. One click is enough for you over unsafe content and you could drop a malicious software page. This is why we emphasize that you should run a reliable online malware scanner after you delete Search.yourtransitinfonow.com from your browsers.
How does Search.yourtransitinfonow.com work?
This featured search page works identically to its predecessors in the Polarity family. It is set as your homepage and default search engine in your main browsers. So anytime you open a browser, this search page comes up and you may not even notice the change because basically this page looks like a normal and innocent search engine with a toolbar of quick links. You will find the usual News and Local Weather links as well as travel-related ones. These featured links take you to Rental Car Services like Hertz and Budget, Bus Services like Greyhound in three countries, and Local Transit pages for seven countries. Of course, you can also find the usual Facebook and Gmail links at well. Apart from this fake toolbar, you can also reach these pages from a thumbnail link row below the main search box. Although these links may work just fine and take you to legitimate pages, chances are this browser hijacker may inject its own promoted third-party advertisements wherever it is possible. This is why we do not advise you to use the web search function either since you could be exposed to modified Yahoo search results possibly leading to malicious websites and more infections. This is why we suggest that you remove Search.yourtransitinfonow.com right now.
