66.com.ua is a search engine that might be set as your new tab page or default homepage automatically even if you have never heard of this website before. Unsurprisingly, this change may occur when users opt to install software, which is not deemed reputable, and that may sometimes bring unwanted changes to the computer's settings. In the case of 66.com.ua, it is likely that the software in question is identified as a browser hijacker, and it may be installed via software bundles or as a stand-alone browser extension. In some cases, having '66.com.ua' infiltrating your Web browser's settings also might be referred to as experiencing a 'Vader66 Redirect', because this search engine is titled 'Vader66' for some reason.

It appears that the people behind 66.com.ua are huge fans of the Star Wars series judging by the name of the search engine, as well as that a silhouette of Darth Vader can be seen as the background image. Using 66.com.ua's search feature appears to provide legitimate results, but you should be aware that the results are accompanied by a fair number of sidebar ads, which may promote irrelevant products, services or websites.

If you see 66.com.ua whenever you use your web browser, then our recommendation is to take the required steps to identify the source of the problem and eliminate it. Unfortunately, while browser hijackers are not harmful, identifying them without the help of security software might be a rather difficult task. This is why the recommended way to deal with the 66.com.ua hijacker is to run an up-to-date anti-malware scanner, which will help identify and remove the intruder.
