ESG malware researchers warn against the fake search engine Isearch.claro-search.com. This website, using an interface that blatantly rips of the main page of Google Search, is closely associated with dangerous browser hijackers. Isearch.claro-search.com is part of a scam that involves forcing computers users to visit this website against their will. These browser redirects are associated with a dangerous rootkit infection which will commonly enter the victim's computer via an attack website or through an infected file download. If your computer is forcing you to visit Isearch.claro-search.com repeatedly, this is a clear indication that your computer has become infected with a malware threat that is both dangerous and difficult to remove.

Isearch.claro-search.com redirects are symptoms of a malware infection. Some symptoms of this infection include the following:

1. Isearch.claro-search.com will usually be associated with a browser toolbar that is nearly impossible to remove manually using normal uninstall processes.
2. The infected web browser's home page may be replaced by Isearch.claro-search.com.
3. Your web browser's default search engine may also be replaced by Isearch.claro-search.com.
4. Most browser redirects associated with Isearch.claro-search.com will occur after clicking on a result in an online search carried out on a reputable search engine. Inexperienced computer users are more likely to mistake the redirect to Isearch.claro-search.com as part of a normal online search.

Malware associated with Isearch.claro-search.com changes the HOSTS file (which processes DNS server information) as well as changing other settings on your computer. This means that an infected computer will usually become more vulnerable to further infections. In the case of an Isearch.claro-search.com-related malware infection, a computer user will end up at the Isearch.claro-search.com after carrying out an unrelated search on Google or another real search engine. This is because this malware will change the links in the results so that they take the victim to Isearch.claro-search.com instead of to their intended web page.

Getting rid of Isearch.claro-search.com-related malware may be difficult. Malware analysts often recommend avoiding manual removal and instead using a reliable anti-malware utility. It may be necessary to restore your system settings or HOSTS file as well as updating your anti-malware software to prevent future infections.
