Cpv.servefeed.info is Closely Associated with Various Browser Hijackers

While the content on Cpv.servefeed.info itself is not particularly dangerous, browser hijackers that lead computer users to the Cpv.servefeed.info website against their authorization are definitely a concern. These are often part of a rootkit infection that takes hold on the victim's computer. This rootkit, often a variant of the ZeroAccess (also known as Sirefef) family of rootkits is particularly difficult to erase and may demand the use of a specialized anti-rootkit application. The redirects themselves are caused by a Trojan component of this malware infection colloquially known as the Google Redirect Virus. This Trojan will change the results of online searches so that the links direct the computer user to the Cpv.servefeed.info website instead of to the website corresponding to that search result.
