Search.b1.org

Posted: February 7, 2013

Search.b1.org is a deceptive web search page, which can occur on a hijacked web browser once a computer user installs a third-party program stealthily used to distribute a particular app. Search.b1.org is a browser hijacker, because it leads to annoying redirects on the targeted web browser to commercial websites when surfing on the Internet. Suspicious websites affiliated with Search.b1.org aim at increasing their popularity and selling services/goods that are of poor quality. Search.b1.org is supported by browser hijackers that, once installed, change computer settings and take over all Internet browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and other. Browser hijackers change the default homepage and search engine to Search.b1.org. Free applications related to Search.b1.org invade the affected computer system by using tricky techniques. During an installation process of free software, PC users can find a sentence, which warns about 'components list', but commonly such potentially unwanted applications get installed without the computer user's permission and knowledge. Browser hijackers linked to Search.b1.org will open this misleading website in a new tab on the compromised Internet browser and redirect victims' search results in Google or other search engines to Search.b1.org.
