The Yahoososo.com domain is a member of the Internet search business and is operated by InfoSpace LLC that is associated with the deployment of browser hijackers. InfoSpace LLC is known to manage several untrusted domains including Search.So-V.com and Infospace.com. Needless to say, freeware bundles may drop the Yahoososo.com browser hijacking extension into your machine. You may be redirected to Yahoososo.com whenever you attempt to visit Google.com, Yahoo.com and Bing.com, as well as access a custom search engine other than the one at Yahoososo.com. Security analysts reveal that the Yahoososo.com browser hijacker acts as a Web tunneling service and may limit access to online content. Computer users that have problems with the Yahoososo.com site should revise their recently installed applications via the 'Control Panel' and check for the InfoSpace LLC software publisher. However, in similar cases, browser hijacking applications may work as portable programs and may not leave traces in the 'Control Panel' and the Windows Registry. The Yahoososo.com browser hijacker may use executable DLLs to maintain its operations and affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox.
The Yahoososo.com browser hijacker may make an entry in the list of the Windows Task Scheduler utility in Windows to enable its activity when you turn on your PC. The Yahoososo.com browser hijacker is not deemed as a severe cyber threat but may prove very annoying and redirect Web surfers to adult-rated content. Therefore, minors should not be allowed to use a computer that is infected with the Yahoososo.com browser hijacker before it is removed. The company that owns the Yahoososo.com site may collect usage data like your unique device number (IMEI), hardware setup, browser type, language settings, and IP address to help affiliate advertisers display targeted commercials on your screen. That kind of activity may involve an excessive display of pop-up and pop-under windows to increase earnings. You can benefit from installing a reliable anti-spyware tool that can remove the Yahoososo.com browser hijacker and protect your privacy.
