Findxplorer

Findxplorer is a malicious Browser Helper Object that changes default search engine when searching directly from address/URL bar in your web browser. Findxplorer returns very limited and promoted search results. Whenever an affected Internet user searches something directly from his/her web browser address bar, Findxplorer redirects him/her to findxplorer.com rogue website and gives paid search results, which are not the most important. Findxplorer also changes your online search habits. For instance, when you use Google Chrome web browser, and you search directly from the very convenient address bar, suddenly it gives you absolutely different and very often unrelated search results. It is recommended to eliminate Findxplorer as quickly as possible once you detect it.
