Browserzinc.com

Browserzinc.com is a fraudulent search engine that pretends to be able to offer useful search results when its links are, in reality, focused on redirecting you to affiliate sites that pay money to Browserzinc.com's web masters. These sites can include malicious domains that host PC threats, use drive-by-download attacks or market scamware (such as fake anti-virus scanners). In addition to these issues, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also note that contact with Browserzinc.com is often instigated by browser hijackers that redirect your web browser from safe sites to Browserzinc.com without your permission. If your browser loads Browserzinc.com for any reason or if you have reason to believe that your PC has been infected by a Browserzinc.com-affiliated PC threat, you should scan your computer with a suitable anti-malware program to be sure of deleting all forms of malicious software from Browserzinc.com, including as Trojan droppers and browser hijackers.

Why You Might Want to Skip Browserzinc.com During Your 'A to Zinc' Web-Browsing

Browserzinc.com can be considered a clone of other types of fake search engines that use, not just the same type of hoax and same PC threats for assistance, but even the same aesthetic template. Other types of malicious websites in the Browserzinc.com family include BrowserSeek.com, ZinkWink.com, BrowserQuery.com, BarQuery.com, SeekDNS.com, ZwankySearch.com and WinkZink.com. In addition to sharing the same look, Browserzinc.com and its twins also link to similar websites that can cause you to be at risk of the following attacks:

• Phishing attacks that steal personal information (often under the guise of a login page or fake contest).
• Fake alerts and infection warnings that recommend that you install some form of rogue anti-malware product.
• Drive-by-download attacks that install PC threats without requiring you to do anything other than load the web page in question.

Since Browserzinc.com lacks any of the safety measures or the clean reputation that a reputable search engine would possess, SpywareRemove.com malware experts can only recommend that you avoid Browserzinc.com and any site that resembles Browserzinc.com to minimize danger to your PC.

Expelling Browserzinc.com's Bad Browser Medicine

Ultimately, although an accidental run-in with Browserzinc.com isn't terribly-likely, browser hijackers are able to compensate for this and force you to visit Browserzinc.com even if you're trying to load a different website. Most browser redirects to Browserzinc.com occur after you attempt to visit or use a popular search site (such as Google), although you may also experience homepage changes and other forms of browser hijacks that take you to Browserzinc.com on a regular basis. Don't try to change or delete your web browser to remove a Browserzinc.com-aligned browser hijacker, since browser-hijacking Trojans for Browserzinc.com will accomplish their attacks by changing the Windows Hosts file, Registry and other parts of your operating system instead of attaching themselves to a specific web browser.

To remove one of Browserzinc.com's browser hijackers from your PC, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts recommend a total scan of your computer by a trustworthy anti-malware program. Safe Mode or even a boot from a USB device may be required to provide a sterile environment to detect and remove all Browserzinc.com-affiliated types of PC threats. Disabling script-usage (such as JavaScript and Flash) is also recommended while you're using your web browser since this will reduce the possibility of potential drive-by-download attacks from Browserzinc.com and its affiliates.
