How iask123.com Attempts to Deceit You

Iask123.com is not a reliable search engine. However, iask123.com uses several underhanded tactics to make computer users believe that iask123.com is actually associated with legitimate search engines such as Google or Yahoo. One of the most apparent of those tactics is the fact that iask123.com heavily plagiarizes the layout and several elements of the Google website. For example, this website's layout is nearly identical to the popular search engine and is superimposed on a white background. The website contains the word 'search', which is written in the same font and with the same characteristic color scheme as the Google logo. The iask123.com website and its associated toolbar actually may be used to carry out online searches. This is because Iask123.com does use a modified Google search to look for results. However, Iask123.com includes sponsored search results that are often part of marketing schemes and websites associated with unsafe content and threats.

Criminals may generate a considerable profit from forcing computer users to visit iask123.com repeatedly. It can be done by using a pay-per-click marketing tactic and online advertisements. Iask123.com is also designed to display sponsored search results along with other search results, allowing its owners to profit considerably whenever someone clicks on these sponsored search results. Since iask123.com offers no advantages over trusted, well established alternatives that deliver trustworthy search results (such as Google or Yahoo), security researchers advise computer users to stay away from iask123.com. Malware researchers also advise computer users to use a recommended anti-malware tool to remove browser hijackers causing iask123.com redirects and other harmful symptoms that may be associated with this website.
