How does Search.arab-one.com act?

Search.arab-one.com looks like a decent homepage at first sight, but it is all written in Arabic; thus, our specialists believe that it is mainly aimed at people living in the Middle East countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia. It does not really matter where you live because it is very important that you get rid of such a suspicious homepage. If you keep it and use its search box, you might be provided with links that will take you to untrustworthy websites. We cannot say that it is not dangerous to click on those links to game websites and news too. Specialists also say that there is a possibility that Search.arab-one.com will record your search queries if you enter them into the search box. You have probably understood that it is not worth keeping Search.arab-one.com. Unfortunately, you will not be able to erase it very easily. Our researchers believe that it is not enough to erase this hijacker because it comes bundled with Vonteera, which is an advertising-supported application. If you do not remove this adware, you will start seeing irritating ads. These ads might also expose you to potential threats. Vonteera might not be the only untrustworthy program that has entered your system, so do not forget to scan your system with a diagnostic scanner too.

Those users who download freeware and shareware from third-party websites notice the presence of malware more commonly. It is possible to download a bunch of untrustworthy applications from torrent websites too, so you have to be very cautious all the time. Our security specialists believe that the only way to protect the system from malware is to acquire and keep the antimalware tool enabled.
