Recently I happened to search information with search.jzip.com search engine; it never shows the expected results but advertisement related. It burdens loading of the website, during the web-loading period, pop-ups promote. And later I learned that search.jzip.com is a redirect virus that developed by Bandoo Media Inc. It automatically sets search.jzip.com into your default homepage, address bar search and new tab on Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome once your system got infected with related ware. It is supposed to provide users with seamless user experience with a banner ad free white label solution. However, it changes your search settings and preferences. Its toolbar provides a platform which allows third party software, which includes numerous links, various materials. You can follow its term of use, the toolbar and services offer incorporate content, technology, software and services owned and controlled by third parties.
Disclaims any liability that you may incur arising from your access to, use of or reliance upon such third parties via the toolbar, any damages you have to take by yourself. Usually we have one search engine for the full information it provides and the simple use with no harms. Obviously Search.jzip.com is not the one that users expect.
Generally speaking, browser hijackers have several distribution methods. Bundling with potentially unwanted applications or freeware is the most common means. The obstacle is that users often do not understand how risky it is to download freeware programs from third-party file sharing or hosting websites. Such pages cannot guarantee the safety of installer files you download, and the installer files are very often bundled with additional, unnecessary and even dangerous software. It means that users initiate Search.jzip.com installation onto their computers unwittingly.
The setup file may also be hidden behind annoying pop-ups that promote fake Adobe or Flash plug-in updates. Such pop-up windows appear on ad-supported websites, and clicking on them automatically initiates unwanted software download right as the picture shown below. Needless to say that search.jzip.com could be one of those unwanted applications.
