Searchzillions.com

Installing software is becoming more and more dangerous because programs like Searchzillions.com can slither in seemingly without a warning. Software bundling is not an illegal practice, and there are many examples where this method benefits users. Unfortunately, software bundling is one of those security backdoors that cyber criminals and unreliable parties love to exploit. If it weren’t for bundling, the developers of unreliable programs, adware, and search tools would not be as successful as they are today. Trojans, ransomware, and similar threats could be silently added to seemingly harmless software bundles, which is why trusting them is always risky. Of course, this is not a problem you would encounter if you relied on reputable installers only. Unfortunately, there are plenty of installers that might be presented in a deceitful manner. If you become a victim of unreliable software bundling, you might have to remove Searchzillions.com as well. Read more »
