Zooms.searchalgo.com Redirect

Once installed, it modifies the Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) default search engine, new tab URL, and homepage settings by assigning them to zooms.searchalgo.com.

Furthermore, this browser hijacker installs several small applications called 'helper objects' (at time of research, SettingsGuard) that prevent users from reverting these changes.
