Crownhub.com has the look of a real search engine, but behind its green globe and sleek interface, you'll find that Crownhub.com doesn't have any interest in giving you relevant or safe links.

• Fake infection alerts, pop-up warnings, fraudulent scanners and other types simulated warnings that are designed to make you believe that your computer is infected with a PC threat that isn't present.
