Gamblingpuma.com may appear to be a search engine, and some attempts to use Gamblingpuma.com may even provide you with legitimate results, but Gamblingpuma.com has also been noted for its ability to provide redirects to hostile websites that host and install PC threats. Common PC threats for Gamblingpuma.com and other sites in its family include spyware-focused rootkits and Trojans, such as Alureon.H, that conceal their presence on your PC while trying to steal personal information. Because of this danger, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you change passwords and other types of sensitive information that may have been compromised after you've cleaned your computer of Gamblingpuma.com-related infections. Since Gamblingpuma.com has been known to promote sites that install rootkits and other PC threats without your consent, it may be wise to treat your PC as potentially infected after any visit to Gamblingpuma.com, no matter how brief.
