Mydomainadvisor.com does not advise you on what domains you should visit. In fact, Mydomainadvisor.com will force you to visit a single domain over and over again through the use of its associated browser hijacker. Mydomainadvisor.com is a fake search engine that, as part of a long-running online scam, boosts its online traffic artificially through the use of aggressive malware. If your computer system is showing symptoms of a Mydomainadvisor.com-related malware infection, ESG security researchers strongly advise using a reliable anti-malware application to scan and disinfect your computer system. Failure to deal promptly with Mydomainadvisor.com-related malware can result in additional malware entering your computer system, rendering it practically useless and compromising your data and personal information. You may think that staying away from the Mydomainadvisor.com website is enough to protect yourself from this scam. However, as you will see below, this is easier said than done.

Do You Find Yourself Visiting Mydomainadvisor.com Repeatedly?

Recommending that computer users stay away from Mydomainadvisor.com is not particularly useful, since most of the visitors of this malicious bogus search engine have no choice but to visit this website repeatedly. This is due to a browser hijacker that is linked to Mydomainadvisor.com – usually a Trojan that goes by the name of Google Redirect Virus. If your computer system is infected with this browser hijacker, you will find that you are constantly forced to visit Mydomainadvisor.com against your will. Some ways in which this malware infection forces you to visit this fake search engine include the following:

  • Mydomainadvisor.com-related malware may change your home page and favorite pages into Mydomainadvisor.com and its related malicious websites.
  • Forced redirects to the Mydomainadvisor.com website can occur after carrying out several normal tasks on your Internet browser. For example, you may randomly be sent to the Mydomainadvisor.com website after clicking on a link, entering a URL into your browser's address bar, clicking on one of the navigation buttons on the navigation bar or opening one of your bookmarks.
  • Typically, most redirects to Mydomainadvisor.com occur after carrying out an online search using a legitimate search engine. This is because the Google Redirect Virus (as its name implies) can change the results on Google and other search engines so that they will direct the computer user to the Mydomainadvisor.com instead.
  • An infected Internet browser may also display pop-up windows containing the Mydomainadvisor.com website and other, similar unsafe web pages.
