Get-amazing-results.com Screenshot 1Get-amazing-results.com is a clone of similar fake search engine-based websites with identical content, including a tag line about Get-amazing-results.com supposedly being the 'premiere' place on the Internet for finding great search results. However, the truth behind Get-amazing-results.com's marketing is that Get-amazing-results.com and sites identical to it are well-known by SpywareRemove.com malware analysts as distribution points for various PC threats, including phishing attacks, drive-by-downloads and a variety of malware. Since Get-amazing-results.com's is far from amazing, the majority of its traffic appears to be derived from PC threats with browser-redirecting functions. Any browser hijacker affiliated with Get-amazing-results.com should be considered a threat to your PC to be deleted with anti-malware software, since contact with sites related to Get-amazing-results.com has been known to result in other malware being installed through browser exploits.

Why Get-amazing-results.com Might Be Better Called 'Get-Poor-Results.Com'

Get-amazing-results.com is a member of the same web ring of identical sites as Quick-search-results.com (and its mirror at find-quick-results.com), FindSearchEngineResults.com, Click.get-answers-fast.com, Find-fast-answers.com, Expandsearchanswers.com and Search-fast-results.com. Many of these sites have been blacklisted for their malicious behavior, and each of them should be considered duplicates of Get-amazing-results.com – and vice versa.

Even though Get-amazing-results.com pretends to be a helpful search engine, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have seen its results cough up suspicious links. The risks related to interacting with Get-amazing-results.com includes:

  • Contact with browser exploits that attempt to install malicious software onto your PC automatically (as in the case of the well-known Blackhole Exploit Kit). Such drive-by-download exploits often rely on outdated versions of Adobe or Java software although some also use zero-day (unpatched) exploits.
  • Contact with sites that promote scamware (such as rogue anti-malware programs or system cleaners from the Win32/FakeVimes/Braviax/FakeSpypro families). Common attacks will pretend that your PC is infected and request that you install a fake security program to cure the infection.
  • Contact with phishing attacks that use fraudulent pretenses (contests, polls, etc) to acquire personal information that can be exploited in other attacks or sold to third parties. E-mail addresses, street addresses, telephone numbers and identity-related information are often 'phished' in this manner.

Similar results are promoted by Get-amazing-results.com's clone websites, which are quickly-identifiable due to using the same template as Get-amazing-results.com.
