Keeping your computer guarded against these attacks is as simple as avoiding risky sites, keeping your browser up-to-date and only browsing the web with strict security settings.

Nonetheless, since no defense can be totally impenetrable, SpywareRemove.com malware experts also advise you to be aware of the following signs of a Search.yellowise.com style browser hijacker:

• Being redirected to Search.yellowise.com at random times or after you attempt to use a search engine.
• Having your homepage set to Search.yellowise.com without your permission.

Because Search.yellowise.com browser hijackers will typically set up right in your Windows Registry, altering your web browser in any way will not truly fix the problem.

The Traps Served on the Side with Search.yellowise.com

Exposure to Search.yellowise.com should be avoided at all costs, since Search.yellowise.com can only provide search results that are valueless at best and harmful at worst. If you've been exposed to Search.yellowise.com and suspect that browser-based content on your PC may be influenced by Search.yellowise.com infections, look out for scams like the following:

• Phishing scams such as the Facebook Birthday Free T-Shirt scam. These scams will try to acquire your account information and tend to target social networking websites or online banks. A standard phishing scam will claim that you've won a prize or will pretend to be a message from a friend and then ask for your login information.

Scamware products like BlueFlare Antivirus and XP System Repair will market themselves in the form of helpful security programs but, if you install them, you'll find that their features are actually harmful. These types of fake programs specialize in stealing money and SpywareRemove.com malware experts advise that you only purchase software from a website that's trustworthy.
• Fake software updates for video players or file codecs. These updates will tell you that your software is out of date and requires an update; such tactics will typically be used to install dropper Trojans.
