The Cheetasearch.com search portal is deemed as unreliable search service that is not comparable to Google, DuckDuckGo and Yahoo. The Cheetasearch.com portal may act as a redirect-gateway for unlicensed marketers to collect data like your search terms, IP address and software configuration. The Cheetasearch.com domain is associated with a browser hijacking software that you may install bundled with third-party freeware like FreeDealsApp and GettingApps. Additionally, there are reports that visitors at Cheetasearch.com might be suggested to call phone numbers like 888-991-5298 that are used for technical support hoaxes. Computer users that notice their browser loading Cheetasearch.com may have installed the aforementioned browser hijacker. The program linked to Cheetasearch.com may be listed in your browser's Extensions Manager as Cheeta New Tab by Imali Media Ltd. The Cheeta browser hijacker may be compatible with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Security experts note that the Cheeta browser hijacker may load content from Millionaires-blueprint.co on pop-up windows.

The Millionaires-blueprint.co site hosts a financial tactic going under the slogan "Free Money System" and its operators welcome people to invest at least $250 to gain one million in the next three months. PC users that are infected with the Cheeta browser hijacker may be urged to download the Millionaire Blueprint Software at Cheetasearch.com. Needless to say, users should abstain from providing their credit card details on Cheetasearch.com and Millionaires-blueprint.co. The Cheetasearch.com site may include videos from suspicious sites that promote the "Free Money System" financial model, and you need to ignore these video commercials. The Cheeta browser hijacker cannot damage your OS, but may show misleading messages and provide potentially harmful software for download. You should remove the Cheeta browser plug-in with a credible anti-spyware instrument to be sure that it is deleted and will not reinstall itself on the next reboot automatically.
