Mapbird.info

Mapbird.info is a clone of the decidedly imitable Ninjaa.info and similar sites that portray themselves as legitimate search engines. While search results from Mapbird.info may, upon occasion, provide what you're looking for, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you be cautious around content that's provided by Mapbird.info due to its connection with browser hijackers and blacklisted hosts. Under most circumstances, you'll find yourself at Mapbird.info after your PC has been infected by a PC threat that redirects your browser to Mapbird.info without permission – the closest thing to marketing that Mapbird.info appears to have. If you see symptoms of browser hijacks that involve Mapbird.info or identical sites, scanning your PC with a dependable anti-malware program should be able to remove the relevant PC threat, although the recent nature of these attacks may also require you to update your scanner before it can do this.

The Shadow of PC Attacks Concealed Beneath Mapbird.info's Pristine Plumage

Going by looks alone, Mapbird.info appears to be harmless and seems to offer category-based website searches, as well as standard search engine functionality. Unfortunately, there are several telltale signs of guilt that may make Mapbird.info an unwise destination for a PC user to start their searches from:

• Mapbird.info is promoted by browser hijackers that redirect your browser (by force) to Mapbird.info and similar websites such as Ninjaa.info, Asdvd.info and Envoyne.info. Browser hijackers may also censor your search results, create pop-ups or change your homepage.
• Mapbird.info is identical Ninjaa.info in layout, and as a clone site, isn't likely to provide independent or legitimate content (as opposed to spam-related content, advertisements or links to potentially hostile sites).

Shooing Mapbird.info Out of Your Web Browser

Even though Mapbird.info has been rated as extremely poor for most characteristics that matter for website security, our malware research team hasn't found signs of Mapbird.info being used to attack visiting computers directly with drive-by-download scripts or other exploits. Therefore, visits to Mapbird.info, while not recommended, may not be an immediate cause for worry. However, browser redirect attacks that involve Mapbird.info or similar sites should always be considered a symptom of an infection that can harm your computer's security and privacy.

In some cases, browser hijackers for Mapbird.info may be avoidable by avoiding the sites that are used as triggers, such as Google, but avoidance should only be a preliminary step prior to removing the browser hijacker with a trustworthy anti-malware program. Browser hijackers often include other functions and may also be accompanied by Trojans or rootkits that are, typically, high-level threats.
