The interface of Funkytvtabssearch.com indicates that it is a search engine; however, as you enter search keywords, you quickly realize that it does not produce results.

Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers have found that this “search provider” might use a third-party search engine to showcase advertisements. The search engine exploited for that is Yahoo Search, and, undoubtedly, many users will not even realize that sponsored links are included.
