Ninjaa.info

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

The Ninjaa.info web page corresponds to a search engine with an unusual page layout. However, regardless of its outward appearance, Ninjaa.info is part of an online scam similar to hundreds of other search engines such as Searchdynamic.net. Websites like Ninjaa.info are designed to create advertisement income by obligating computer users to visit same websites repeatedly with the use of a browser hijacker.

Bogus search engines related to Ninjaa.info use a browser hijacker that is particularly nasty, usually part of a multi-component malware attack involving the TDSS rootkit and other Trojans designed to affect the victim's computer system in various ways. In case your web browser is leading you to Ninjaa.info, this means that your computer has become the victim of a dangerous malware attack that should be dealt with immediately. Failure to remove Ninjaa.info-related malware will often result in further malware infections as well as potentially compromising the victim's personal information, credit card numbers and online accounts.

Symptoms of a Ninjaa.info-Related Malware Attack

The main danger of a Ninjaa.info-related malware attack is the fact that the victim's security software will usually be disabled or completely unable to detect the presence of malware related to the attack. This is because the TDSS rootkit has the capacity to disable security applications as well as creating a hidden system file within the victim's own drive which effectively hides other malware from security software. Because of this dangerous symptom, ESG malware analysts urge affected computer users to use a specialized TDSS rootkit removal tool. Browser redirects to Ninjaa.info are not normal in any way, even if your normally-reliable anti-malware software does not detect a problem on your computer system. Other symptoms of Ninjaa.info-related malware include the following:

  • Constant redirects to the Ninjaa.info website, usually after achieving a search on a real search engine. This is because the Google Redirect Virus can change results of a web search so that they link to Ninjaa.info site instead of linking to their corresponding website.
  • Changes to the victim's web browser settings. These include changes to the web browser turning Ninjaa.info into the default search engine and homepage.
  • Severely decreased connection speed. An infected computer will often take several minutes to load even the simplest web page. Ninjaa.info-related malware can block certain websites, making Ninjaa.info particularly more dangerous than other similar browser hijacker infections.

Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a really good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don't manage to get anything done.
