Nationzoom.com is a low quality search engine, associated with a Potentially Unwanted Program. Low quality search engines like Nationzoom.com may be associated with PUPs due to their browser hijacking capabilities. Using browser hijackers, marketers may force computer users to visit Nationzoom.com repeatedly. Browser hijackers associated with Nationzoom.com may also replace search results on legitimate search engines by redirecting computer users to Nationzoom.com. This takes advantage of inexperienced computer users who may not realize that Nationzoom.com is not a legitimate search engine and that most of Nationzoom.com's supposed search results are little more than sponsored links and advertisements for questionable online services and products. The following are reasons why security researchers strongly advise avoiding Nationzoom.com and removing any PUPs associated with Nationzoom.com from your computer:
- Nationzoom.com may keep track of your online searches, browsing habits and Web browser settings. Nationzoom.com may relay this information to a third party or use it to deliver advertisements and fake search results to your Web browser. Security researchers strongly advise removing PUPs associated with Nationzoom.com or avoiding the use of Nationzoom.com to carry out online searches.
- PUPs associated with Nationzoom.com may cause numerous damaging symptoms on affected computers. These types of Web browser add-ons may cause browser redirects (usually leading to the Nationzoom.com websites repeatedly), pop-up advertisements and other types of marketing content, and system performance issues such as crashes and problems loading Web pages or viewing certain online content.
- It is important to note that Nationzoom.com does not have real search engine capabilities. Rather, Nationzoom.com is designed to deliver advertisements and expose computer users to marketing content. The majority of Nationzoom.com's supposed search results are usually links to potentially unsafe content and known online scams. Nationzoom.com is also usually associated with Web browser add-ons that may cause problems on affected Web browsers.
