| Description:
|
TinyBar is an Internet Explorer toolbar that adds registry entries that use the Windows system file shdocvw.dll to display a web page as a toolbar.
This page may be stored locally or fetched from the internet every time an IE window is opened; it generally contains a search feature and/or link buttons, pointed at a generic portal such as:
tinybar.com
allcybersearch.com
gocybersearch.com
clickyestoenter.net
topsearcher.com
jethomepage.com
jetseeker.com
znext.com
traffic4sure.com
errorpage404.com
searchaccurate.com
ourlinklist.com
topclicks.net
iseekresults.com
wowsearch.com
ysearchus.com
Internet Explorer search settings are also hijacked to point to the same domain.

Browser Hijacker - Adware is generally software that displays advertisements. Some advertisers may covertly install adware on your system and generate a stream of unsolicited advertisements that can clutter your desktop and affect your productivity. The advertisements may also contain pornographic or other material that you might find inappropriate. The extra processing required to track you or to display advertisements can tax your computer and hurt your system performance. |
