Uniquesearchsystem.com

Posted: November 15, 2011

Its name may be new, but Uniquesearchsystem.com is just another form of the same CC Search scam that SpywareRemove.com malware experts have analyzed dozens of times over the past few months. The search engine-esque appearance makes Uniquesearchsystem.com look like a site that's willing to provide relevant and helpful content, but its real links will redirect you to useless and even malicious sites that pay Uniquesearchsystem.com to be sure that traffic comes their way. Uniquesearchsystem.com has also, like other CC Search sites, been caught red-handed in the use of browser hijackers that redirect web browsers to Uniquesearchsystem.com and away from safe sites like Google and Bing. Signs of these browser hijacks should be taken seriously, since they indicate that your PC is infected and that you should immediately run a thorough system scan to cleanse your computer before other forms of damage occur.

Why There's Nothing Unique About Uniquesearchsystem.com's Attacks

In appearance, behavior and even its relationships to malicious software, Uniquesearchsystem.com can be thought of as a clone or copy of other CC Search websites. Recent CC Search sites similar to Uniquesearchsystem.com include but aren't limited to Eminentsearchsystem.com, Nailingsearchsystem.com, , Rattlingsearchsystem.com and Colossalsearchsystem.com. Although these sites will not make any explicit mention of each other, they hope that by using different names, they can hide from their disreputable pasts, which include such sins as:

  • Reliance on browser hijackers for traffic. Browser hijackers will redirect you from Google and similar types of search engine sites to CC Search sites like Uniquesearchsystem.com, and will attempt to avoid both detection and removal. Strong anti-malware software may be required to remove a browser hijacker that's affiliated with Uniquesearchsystem.com, since browser redirect attacks are often included as a function of ZeroAccess rootkits and other forms of advanced PC threats.
  • Stolen search results from other websites that lend an appearance of legitimacy to Uniquesearchsystem.com's search results.
  • The inclusion of links that lead to dangerous or advertisement-based websites without any attempts to sort them for relevance.

Since every second spent on Uniquesearchsystem.com endangers your PC and every click offers a little more money to Uniquesearchsystem.com's web masters, SpywareRemove.com malware experts, obviously, recommend that you stay away from both Uniquesearchsystem.com and any site that resembles Uniquesearchsystem.com.

Busting Your Browser Out of Uniquesearchsystem.com's Stale Search Engine Fraud

If you've visited Uniquesearchsystem.com by accident or noticed symptoms of a browser hijacker that's aligned with Uniquesearchsystem.com, your PC is likely to be infected by a ZeroAccess rootkit or similar form of PC threat. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts discourage manual removal of such a browser hijacker, since total deletion requires alteration of the Windows Registry and equivalently-delicate portions of your operating system. However, an effective anti-malware scanner can remove all currently-known forms of browser hijackers for Uniquesearchsystem.com without side effects.

If you're prevented from accessing your anti-malware programs, you may need to reboot and access Safe Mode from the advanced boot options menu. After deleting the infection, be certain to avoid future contact with Uniquesearchsystem.com, since drive-by-download scripts and other forms of browser exploits can reinstall the browser hijacker when given a chance.
