Search.fbdownloader.com Image

Search.fbdownloader.com is a website associated with a Web browser plug-in that allows computer users to download content from Facebook and other websites conveniently from their Web browser. However, this plug-in rarely works as advertised and that, instead, Search.fbdownloader.com is simply designed to deliver advertisements and cause browser redirects on its victims' computers. Search.fbdownloader.com causes redirects on the most used Web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari and Mozilla Firefox. It is important to note that these attacks are more than simple annoyances; browser redirects usually point to a severe problem with your computer's security and a potential threat to your privacy. Because of this, Search.fbdownloader.com redirects should be treated with strong anti-virus applications.

Browser redirects that lead to sites like Search.fbdownloader.com are quite common. These kinds of redirects that lead to questionable search engines and low quality websites designed to deliver advertisements have grown exponentially since they first became popular in 2009 and 2010. The basic method involves infecting the victim's computer with a browser hijacker in order to force the computer user to visit certain websites repeatedly. This can be monetized by using pay-per-click links or other forms of advertisements, taking advantage of the massive traffic increase that results from these kinds of infections. While most computer users would not visit Search.fbdownloader.com on their own, this website receives a considerable amount of Web traffic due to the use of these kinds of malware infections.

Browser hijackers that cause Search.fbdownloader.com redirects can cause a variety of symptoms. Most computer users will notice that their homepage has been changed without their permission to Search.fbdownloader.com. Search.fbdownloader.com may also pop up in advertisements and pop-up windows while browsing unrelated websites. Security researchers have observed the presence of suspicious mouse-over advertisements and poorly worded error messages in associated with browser hijackers that cause Search.fbdownloader.com redirects. Of course, the most common symptoms of these kinds of browser hijacker infections are the Search.fbdownloader.com redirects themselves, which will regularly happen after clicking on a link or carrying out an online search on a real search engine. Computer users may also notice performance problems with their computer and with their Internet connection (for example, pages taking too long to load, reduced connection speed or a Web browser crashing frequently).
