Nailingsearchsystem.com is a website that contains a malicious search engine. One of the defining characteristics of Nailingsearchsystem.com is that Nailingsearchsystem.com is part of a family of malicious websites with extremely similar names. ESG PC security researchers suspect that Nailingsearchsystem.com's was generated automatically by adding a random adjective to the words search system. What causes this are countless different clones of the Nailingsearchsystem.com malicious website, all following a similar naming pattern. Typically, the first word will be a positive adjective, such as 'wonderful search system' or 'neat search system.' However, as the possible adjectives diminish, batches of clones of Nailingsearchsystem.com have been released with random other words or with extremely obscure positive adjectives. Nailingsearchsystem.com is an example of this phenomenon, as this domain name, using the word "nailing" is borderline nonsensical at best.

How the Fake Search Engine Scam Works

The main goal of websites such as Nailingsearchsystem.com is to lead victims to websites promoting fake security applications or engaging in fraudulent activities. Typical examples of malicious websites associated with Nailingsearchsystem.com include fake anti-virus websites, illegal online pharmacies, known pyramid scams and pornographic websites that are really a front for credit card fraud and other criminal activities. Unless you arrived at Nailingsearchsystem.com by accident, it is likely that your computer is infected with a browser hijacker. This is because Nailingsearchsystem.com uses browser hijackers in order to attract its victims to the Nailingsearchsystem.com website.

Nailingsearchsystem.com’s Nasty Friends

In this day and age, most malware is not a simple linear infection. That is when a computer becomes infected with a single malware threat that can be removed with a corresponding anti-malware solution. Malware infections tend to be complex, involving batches of malware designed to work together and to place the victim at risk for additional malware threats. Malicious websites such as Nailingsearchsystem.com serve an important function, as they act as an infection hub. Most people that visit the Nailingsearchsystem.com website will already be infected with the Google Redirect Virus, a component of the ZeroAccess rootkit. By visiting Nailingsearchsystem.com, victims of this malware threat are exposed to countless other malware infections through Nailingsearchsystem.com's fake search results and malicious advertisements. This is why ESG PC security researchers warn against letting Nailingsearchsystem.com-related browser hijackers stay on your computer system. Failure to remove Nailingsearchsystem.com immediately will almost certainly lead to additional malware problems on the victim's computer system.
