Desk 365 Virus is a potentially unwanted application created by 337 Technology Limited. Desk 365 Virus can also be categorized as an adware application because it can be used to distribute other malware infections by making system's changes without an affected PC user's permission. Desk 365 Virus advertises22find.com and Globososo.com suspicious search engines. Desk 365 can be downloaded from an official website as a tool, which can be used for managing desktop shortcuts and applications. However, there is another way used for delivering Desk 365, and it is based on the third party application. Once Desk 365 Virus invades the targeted computer system, it modifies PC's parameters. Desk 365 Virus sets 22find.com, Globososo.com or other dubious website instead of the target computer user's start page and default search engine. Modifications made by Desk 365 Virus, make the victim use 22find.com or Globososo.com for his/her search sessions every time he/she opens the hijacked web browser.
