Climbon.top

Climbon.top works as a redirect-gateway that browser hijackers may use to transfer users to particular websites. In this case, the domain Climbon.top may be used to transfer users to hxxp://footybase.com/search.php?1, a low-quality search engine that uses a custom Google search field. The good news is that neither the redirect-gateway nor the search engine is linked to any harmful activities or behavior, and seeing these Web pages in your Web browser is not a reason to be worried. However, if you are dealing with a browser hijacker linked to Climbon.top, then there's a significant chance that your Web browser's settings might be modified without your knowledge. The Climbon.top browser hijacker's purpose is to set a Web browser's new tab page to Climbon.top automatically, therefore ensuring that users will generate traffic for this domain whenever they open a new tab.

Browser hijackers are quite versatile in terms of the settings they may change so that some users might encounter different variants of the Climbon.top hijacker. These variants are also not threatening, but they might be able to make additional changes to the Web browser's settings, such as changing the default homepage and search engine.

Using the search services that Climon.top redirects to may not be a good idea, because the search results may sometimes be mixed with legitimate advertisements by Google. However, using the regular Google search engine limits the number of ads seen in the user's Web browser greatly, and that's one of the reasons why custom Google search fields should be avoided whenever possible. Keep in mind that Climbon.top serves as a redirect-gateway, and it's very probable that its authors may change the website it redirects to. This means that, in a few weeks, Climbon.top may take users to fraudulent pages, technical support hoaxes or other dubious content. It is strongly recommended to eliminate ethe Climbon.top browser hijacker as soon as possible, and this is a task that should be carried out with the help of quality anti-malware software.
