Threat Database Adware Findxplorer

Findxplorer

By ZulaZuza in Adware

Findxplorer is a malignant adware/BHO (browser helper object) that changes default search engine when searching directly from address/URL bar in your web browser. Findxplorer gives very limited and sponsored search results. Whenever a targeted user searches something directly from his/her web browser address bar, Findxplorer reroutes him/her to findxplorer.com and shows paid search results that are not the most important. Findxplorer also changes the way you search online. For example, when you use Google Chrome web browser, and you search directly from the address bar which is very convenient, suddenly you get entirely different and very often unrelated search results. You should remove Findxplorer immediately after detection to protect your PC.
