Adware.Websearch

Posted: June 23, 2010

Adware.Websearch is a potentially unwanted adware program designed to deliver various advertisements to the targeted user's system. Adware.Websearch also contains a keylogger program that can capture all user keystrokes, including confidential details such usernames, passwords and credit card numbers. Adware.Websearch can also compromise security products by emulating mouse clicks on dialog windows. For example, when a security product pops up a dialog box asking for user permission to block suspicious activity, a threat may click the 'Allow' button to enable its malicious payload. Adware.Websearch should be terminated immediately using an updated malware remover.
