Vizvaz.com

Vizvaz.com is a search site that, at first glance, seems to offer gambling-related results, but, in reality, Vizvaz.com is a portal to phishing domains, drive-by-download attacks and spam. Malware experts have linked Vizvaz.com to each of these issues indirectly through links that are derived from Vizvaz.com's searches, which appear to be designed for the specific purpose of endangering its visitors with malicious web content. Although loading Vizvaz.com without any other interaction is of minimal danger to your PC, any contact with sites promoted by Vizvaz.com should be considered dangerous, and anti-malware applications should be used to analyze your PC after any such incidents.

Vizvaz.com: A Domain that's in the Biz of Hurting Your Computer Indirectly

The browser hijacks for which Vizvaz.com is most well-known are some of the least dangerous attacks connected to Vizvaz.com, which also has ties to a wide range of disreputable and downright dangerous websites, despite not hosting any malicious content on its primary domain. These attacks may alter the settings of your browser to cause it to load Vizvaz.com without your consent.
Sub-domains of Vizvaz.com may host several variants of exploit kits, including the infamous Blackhole Exploit Kit, as well as the Sakura and Neutrino Exploit Kits. These EKs can use drive-by-download techniques to install malware through your browser whenever your browser loads the site in question.

While these drive-by-downloads often are used to install high-level threats like rootkits and spyware, even that isn't the end of the problems with Vizvaz.com. Vizvaz.com promotes websites that have been involved in spamming activities and phishing attacks (attacks that steal your personal information via online fraud). Given these circumstances, actually using Vizvaz.com's search engine to search the web is, obviously, highly unsafe for your computer.

Curing the Vizvaz Browser Bug

Since any contact with sites linked to Vizvaz.com can compel your PC to be infected with a range of low and high-level PC threats, SpywareRemove.com malware experts always recommend using anti-malware software to scan your PC after you've had any encounters whatsoever with the Vizvaz.com website. Browser hijackers that redirect you to Vizvaz.com are only minor dangers, but also may be installed with the company of other Trojans with more dangerous payloads than a series of browser hijacks.

Protecting your browser from incidental contact with malicious sites like Vizvaz.com can take several forms, including:

• Updating all the software on your computer, particularly your browser and default Windows programs. This will reduce the number of software vulnerabilities that exploit kits can take advantage of and use to infect your PC.
• Selectively disabling features that often are used to implement dangerous web content, such as JavaScript, Java and Flash.
• Installing anti-malware products with appropriate online security features.
