How does rocket-find.com work?
As malware researchers have discovered, rocket-find.com works similarly to Start.mysearchdial hijacker. It does not present original search results; however, it initiates redirecting to Google search pages, maps.yahoo.com (Yahoo Maps), savefront.com (Shopping) and gameoapp.com. As we have discovered in the past, Gameo is an advertisement support program which can flood your web browsers with various unreliable deals, ads, surveys and prize giveaway offers. Despite all this, computer users who find the hijacker installed onto their browsers without their consent are alleviated to discover that the search results are supported by authoritative search engines. Unfortunately, this is not something that should calm you down. On the contrary, you should question why you are being forced to use a search engine which can do nothing else but route you to other unrelated search engines.
Can rocket-find.com collect private information?
Did you check the Privacy Policy linked to rocket-find.com and rocket-browser.com? It is quite confusing and unreliable. Here are a few statements which should raise a few more questions.
We do not rent, sell, or share your Personal Information with any third-parties for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
We may share your Personally Identifiable Information with third party service providers to the extent that it is reasonably necessary to perform, improve, maintain or support Rocket
These two statements contradict one another, which is why rocket-find.com is not considered to be a reliable application. Of course, you should also take time to analyze the programs which may have enabled the installation of this browser hijacker. Since some of these applications may be camouflaged as beneficial and trustworthy software, we suggest installing a malware scanner to disclose them more quickly. A reliable scanner will list all application which you should delete from the computer.
