Kwible Search is a browser hijacker, which spreads via other freeware software (download-managers, video recording/streaming or PDF creators) downloads. While being installed on a targeted computer system, Kwible Search will add the Kwible Search, substitute the default homepage and default search provider with Kwiblesearch.com. Kwible Search will show annoying pop-up advertisements and sponsored links in compromised search results of any genuine search provider, and may grab search terms from the attacked computer user's search queries. Kwible Search may be used by cybercrooks to make a profit by using blackhat SEO and raising website traffic. Kwible Search is also packed within the custom installer on many download websites such as CNET, Brothersoft or Softonic. So if the web user has downloaded a particular software product from these websites, he/she might also downloaded and installed Kwible Search throughout the setup process of the software product.
