What Gimmeanswers.com Will Actually Give You is a Malware Infection

The vast majority of visitors to the Gimmeanswers.com website are infected with the Google Redirect Virus, a Trojan infection that is specifically designed to alter the results displayed by popular online search engines. By changing the links that these search engines display, this dangerous browser hijacker forces computer users that click on them to arrive at the Gimmeanswers.com fake search engine itself. Inexperienced computer users may think that this is not an abnormal development, and will often make the mistake of trying their search again on the Gimmeanswers.com website's fake search feature. This is a mistake since Gimmeanswers.com only plays into the criminals' intentions. Because of this confusion, the Google Redirect Virus is regarded as a more effective browser hijacker for the delivery of advertisements than previously-used browser hijackers. However, Gimmeanswers.com's connection to malware does not stop here. Most of the results for any search carried out on Gimmeanswers.com direct the victim to a variety of websites that are closely associated with malware infections. These may be websites promoting fake security programs, also known as rogue security programs, which are actually Trojans designed to wreak havoc. These results may also include advertisements promising easy money or cheap electronics while actually installing a dropper Trojan on the victim's computer system.
