Search.showmoreabout.com

Search.showmoreabout.com

Search.showmoreabout.com looks like a plain website for performing web searches. It is available in several different languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Turkish. On top of that, it shows Yahoo! search results for users, so it does not look harmful by any means. This also explains why so many users decide to keep it set on their web browsers (it works on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) after discovering it. Despite the fact that it works like an ordinary search tool, i.e. users see an opened search results page after entering search queries in its box, specialists do not think that it is a good idea to present it as a legitimate search tool because it might be unsafe to use it, and, according to them, even serious issues might arise due to its presence. Instead, according to malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com, a title that suits it is a browser hijacker. They have made a decision to classify Search.showmoreabout.com as a browser hijacker because of the distribution method employed to spread it and its ability to apply changes on browsers without a user’s consent. It has also turned out quickly that this search tool does not seek to make it easier for users to search the web. Most probably, in the opinion of specialists, it is used as a distributor of commercial advertisements. Read more »

If you have not taken care of your operating system’s protection, all kinds of malicious infections could invade it. Pickles Ransomware is one of the most destructive threats that you could face.
