Gensearch.co Redirect

What is gensearch.co?

Developers present gensearch.co as a high-quality web search engine that supposedly enhances the browsing experience by generating improved results. Judging on appearance alone, gensearch.co may seem similar to Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other legitimate search engines.

Therefore, many users believe that this site is also legitimate. In fact, developers promote gensearch.co using browser-hijacking download/installation set-ups that modify browser options without consent. In addition, this site continually records data relating to browsing activity.

   
Win32/Bluteal.B!rfn Trojan

What is Win32/Bluteal.B!rfn?

The pop-up is displayed by Microsoft Windows Defender, however, this anti-malware tool detects completely legitimate files and identifies them as Win32/Bluteal.B!rfn trojans. This is frustrating and dangerous, since false-positive detections can lead to permanent data loss.

Discovered by malware security researcher, Brad, "Monthly Invoice" is a spam email campaign used to promote Emotet and IcedID trojans.

Chrominio Virus

Chrominio is a rogue application that typically infiltrates systems without users' consent (the "bundling" method). Following infiltration, Chrominio generates pop-up windows (in the bottom right corner of the screen) that encourage users to install "New Chromium Version".

TaxInfoHelp Toolbar

What is hp.myway.com?

Developers (Mindspark Interactive Network [also known as IAC Applications]) present TaxInfoHelp as a legitimate application that supposedly provides users with access to various tax forms and tax-related information.
