Ergative.com

Ergative.com is a search engine site that uses Google to power its search results. Although SpywareRemove.com malware analysts haven't found signs of Ergative.com being dangerous, they have seen recent attacks that have forced web browsers to load Ergative.com nonconsensually. Repetitive redirects to Ergative.com are an indication of a probable browser hijacker infection that should be considered a minor security risk to your computer. Some browser hijackers may also be installed with high-level threats like rootkits or banking Trojans. Browser hijackers that redirect to Ergative.com or similar sites can be removed by anti-malware software, although contact with Ergative.com should, at this time, not be considered particularly dangerous for your computer.

Ergative.com – the Grammatical Reference that Your Browser may Love Too Much

Ergative.com is one of numerous dime-a-dozen websites that use Google's features without providing any new features of their own to distinguish themselves as worthwhile portals. Unlike disreputable sites that appear to be similar, like SeekService.com or Search-milk.net, Ergative.com's reputation is relatively clean and doesn't show any indications of Ergative.com being used to promote malicious software or even irrelevant content (like advertisements). SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend having anti-malware safeguards while using Ergative.com but only insofar as this is applicable while using any other type of search engine for your safety.

Ergative.com's only real notability lies in its indirect association with browser hijackers. Browser-hijacking PC threats alter the settings of your web browser, Registry or other system components and use these changes to redirect you to Ergative.com. Ergative.com redirects have been seen as recently as late October of 2012, and Ergative.com-related browser hijackers should be considered to be in active distribution. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers see these attacks most often in association with other PC threats, such as various types of Trojans, although redirects to Ergative.com may be the only symptoms that are plainly visible.

Standard tactics for Ergative.com redirects force you to load Ergative.com when you open any other website, unlike most redirects for search engine websites, which tend to hijack your search results or homepage. However, other techniques also may be used, depending on the type of Ergative.com-promoting PC threat that's infected your computer.

Snuffing the Supposedly Shining Star of Ergative.com

As a website, Ergative.com hasn't shown any signs of being a PC threat. However, SpywareRemove.com malware experts note that browser hijackers that redirect to Ergative.com usually are responsible for other security-related problems, such as:

• Monitored website habits and/or information transactions.
• Pop-ups that may include hazardous content.
• Undesirable alterations to normal websites (such as additional links or advertisements).
• Browser security features that are disabled to allow website-based PC threats to attack your computer more easily than normal.

Browser hijackers that are used to promote Ergative.com and other sites always should be considered dangers to your computer, and may be installed with or by other types of malware. SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you use anti-malware software as appropriate to remove Ergative.com-affiliated browser hijackers and put an end to redirects to Ergative.com. In most cases, external changes to your browser will fail to eliminate the root of the Ergative.com-related infection.
