Raresearchsystem.com

Posted: September 27, 2011

Raresearchsystem.com is one of many examples of CC Search, a website template that countless domains have used to create a line of replaceable and fraudulent search engines. CC Search websites such as Splendidsearchserver.com, classysearchserver.com, coolsearchserver.com, Excellentsearchserver.com, Famousservesearcher.com, Wickedsearchsystem.com and, of course, Raresearchsystem.com will use browser hijackers to redirect your browser to CC Search websites whenever you try visit alternative websites and search engines. SpywareRemove.com malware experts note that you may also discover that you're not capable of changing your browser's settings or are experiencing pop-ups, error messages that block you from other websites or homepage changes. Since Raresearchsystem.com, like all CC Search sites, doesn't offer you real search results and has a strong probability of exposing you to malicious sites, you should avoid Raresearchsystem.com and delete Raresearchsystem.com-related infections from your PC with a powerful anti-malware application.

Don't Fall for Raresearchsystem.com's Clear, Blue Skies

Raresearchsystem.com uses the same basic looks and fake search engine tactics that other CC Search sites are known for using. This includes the presentation of links that are grouped by broad topics, such as 'Home,' 'Health' and 'Travel.' Despite this profusion of links, Raresearchsystem.com's efforts at quantity don't make up for Raresearchsystem.com's lack of quality, since Raresearchsystem.com's preset links and Raresearchsystem.com's search results are always irrelevant and often harmful.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that potential PC threats from Raresearchsystem.com links can include scamware-selling sites, sites that create inaccurate infection and error messages, phishing sites that try to steal private information by duplicating the interface of legitimate sites, sites that use fake prize-winning messages and websites that attack your PC with drive-by-download scripts. You can protect your computer from the last entry on that roster of Raresearchsystem.com attackers by disabling Flash and Java in your browser, although this merely reduces, rather than eliminates, the risk of visiting such websites.

Loosening Raresearchsystem.com's Grip on Your Browser

Raresearchsystem.com has gained infamy for Raresearchsystem.com's usage of browser hijackers to redirect traffic to itself, a trick that Raresearchsystem.com shares in common with the rest of the CC Search gang. CC Search browser hijackers are often acquired after a visit to Raresearchsystem.com or other CC Search sites, which may try to install their browser hijackers via malicious scripts and browser exploits. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers consider the following attacks to be highly-visible signs of a Raresearchsystem.com browser hijacker-related infection:

  • Pop-up windows that display unusual advertisements, fake prize-winning messages, simulations of system scans or fake infection warnings.
  • Browser settings that are locked to unusual values and refuse to be changed.
  • Being redirected to Raresearchsystem.com at random times or when you try to use a search engine.
  • Error messages that block your ability to load websites, especially sites that are related to PC security.

Although Raresearchsystem.com browser hijackers may try to stop you from acquiring anti-malware advice or proigrams, you can use Safe Mode to regain access to an unimpeded web-browsing experience. After that, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts suggest that you install any updates that are necessary to update your anti-malware program, before you scan your PC and delete Raresearchsystem.com's browser hijacker for good.
