The Eminentsearchsystem.com domain name is assigned to a malicious website that is home to a fake search engine. The fake search engine scam has been growing steadily, gaining a strong online presence and plenty of victims in the process. Eminentsearchsystem.com is part of a very large network of websites hosting the same fake search engine. The domain names of these websites are probably generated automatically, as they are all made up of the words "search system" with the addition of a random word. At first, this word was a positive adjective. As more of these malicious websites were released, more obscure positive adjectives started to be used, such as 'eminent' in this case, and 'eximious'. The latest batch of clones of the Eminentsearchsystem.com fake search engine are made up of adding a random word, which may not even make sense. The point of creating clones of Eminentsearchsystem.com is quantity rather than quality. ESG PC security researchers consider that Eminentsearchsystem.com and its clones are dangerous threats to your computer's security and that steps should be taken to deal with any problems relating to this malicious website.

The Eminentsearchsystem.com scam is part of a fairly common online scam which involves fake search engines. These fake search engines do not display legitimate results, but actually display a list of links to websites that have paid for this service. Since the kinds of websites that would pay for this kind of service are banned from legitimate search engines, you can be sure that following any of these links will not take you anywhere safe. The main kinds of websites associated with the Eminentsearchsystem.com fake search engine include illegal online pharmacies, websites promoting fake anti-virus products (also known as rogue anti-virus programs), pornographic websites, websites containing malware, attack websites and websites related to activities such as money laundering or credit card fraud. The solution to Eminentsearchsystem.com-related problems may seem simple: 'simply do not visit Eminentsearchsystem.com', you may say. However, most of the people visiting Eminentsearchsystem.com and its clones have no choice in the matter. Eminentsearchsystem.com uses dangerous browser hijackers to force its victims to visit Eminentsearchsystem.com repeatedly, boosting its traffic in the process. In fact, the vast majority of people visiting the Eminentsearchsystem.com website will already be infected with a severe malware infection, usually a browser-hijacking Trojan backed up with a rootkit infection, which in most cases is the ZeroAccess rootkit.
