What is Search Window?

The official promotion associated with Search Window at thesearchwindow.com suggests that this program can help you window-shop directly from your Desktop. Do you fully understand how this program works? What it actually does is collects information about you and communicates with adware servers to inject ads. Sure, some ads might be beneficial; however, it is most likely that advertisements shown to you will be attractive but not useful. In the worst case scenario, you will encounter malicious ads, and this is the main motive for you to delete Search Window from your operating system. The worst part is that this advertising-supported program often comes packaged with other infections, and they require immediate elimination as well. The information in this report will help you clean your operating system from all threats, and so you should continue reading.

How does Search Window work?

Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers were quick to link Search Window with the Injekt engine. This engine has been used for the creation of many other ad-supported programs, including Constant Fun and Wander Burst. Although this adware is more similar to Results Hub, we can see many similarities with other programs related using the same engine. It is notable that the files of these programs are usually signed by different companies – in this case, it is Seque Source – however, these files are always the same, and it is possible that different names are employed to conceal one single company. Needless to say, the name of the adware itself is not very inspired, and this is most likely due to the fact that an incredible amount of the other identical programs with original names have already been released. In this sense, this adware is very similar to ad-supported programs created by SuperWeb LLC.

Searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net is one of the many unreliable programs that could be installed onto your PC along with Search Know. This is a browser hijacker that might take over your Firefox and IE browsers and redirect you to various unreliable pages. As our research has shown, the suspicious adware we are discussing can share personal information with unknown parties, which is another important reason to eliminate it from your operating system. But do you know how other threats can act on your operating system? Browser hijackers are often used to redirect users to malicious pages associated with malware installers or scams. Others threats associated with this adware could be even more dangerous! Therefore, even if you manage to delete Uninstaller.exe, 7za.exe, 310eeba3-f844-4bdb-8204-0f7738a73264.dll, and firefox@www.thesearchwindow.com.xpi files found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Search Window\, you have to be cautious about the files belonging to other malicious programs.
