The Election.interferencer.ru site is offered to Internet users as a customizable search service with a non-conventional layout. The search bar at Election.interferencer.ru is tilted to the left, there is no option to customize the page background, and you need to check the search engines that you want to access before you click the 'Find' button. However, after you set the search parameters you will not be presented to a tabbed interface on Election.interferencer.ru but there, will be several new tabs opened next to your current one. You might notice that the site owners did not provide contact information and your connection to Election.interferencer.ru is not encrypted. Also, there is a notification in the top right corner, which says:

'Anyway you haven't enough money to buy election interference, so relax and buy the most profitable goods with the most honest and unbiased shopping search shell. Ruble saved = ruble earned! By the way, Proof that Google Inc. is a liar!'

The Election.interferencer.ru site is registered to the 78.110.60.230 IP address that is connected to more than a dozen compromised pages, and we do not recommend clicking on the 'Google Inc. is a liar!' notification. You may be redirected to a page on Mediafire.com where you are invited to download a ZIP archive file named 'googlelie.zip,' which may include potentially unwanted software and lead to a security compromise. Computer users that install free software packages with the 'Typical' and 'Express' option may install the browser add-on associated with Election.interferencer.ru. The add-on may be listed as 'Election.Interferencer.Ru Shopping Search Shell' and it is designed to reroute users to Election.interferencer.ru whenever they open a new tab page and start an online session. The Election.interferencer.ru site is perceived as an unreliable search engine, and the add-on behaves like a browser hijacker. It may not be a good idea to use Election.interferencer.ru as your primary search aggregator. If you experience problems with Election.interferencer.ru and the 'Election.Interferencer.Ru Shopping Search Shell' add-on you might wish to run a security scan with a reliable anti-malware suite.
