PUP.Verti is a potentially unwanted program that may hijack the PC user's online searches for receiving search results on numerous search provider websites. PUP.Verti may also replace search results in any genuine search engine related to the computer user's queries with links taking web users to dubious advertising websites. PUP.Verti may insert an unwanted add-on, plug-in or extension in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer while PC users download and install other freeware and shareware applications from the Internet. When computer users install these free software products, they may also install PUP.Verti on their computer systems. Once installed, PUP.Verti may hijack an online search form in any legal website and replace it with its own. Computer users may have the possibility to carry out an online search via a particular doubtful search provider, getting sponsored links from which the creators of the specific commercial website may earn money. PC users should always pay attention when installing shareware and freeware programs because often, a certain program installer may contain optional installs, such as PUP.Verti. Web users should be careful what free programs they agree to install. They should always select for the custom install on their PCs.
