Security researchers report that the ForYourWeb.net and the YourWebing.com domains host search fields that redirect users to the legitimate Google engine. However, your search terms are sent to the servers of advertisers, and tracking cookies are injected into your computer.

The Foryourweb.net browser hijacker is known to travel with software like GoforFiles, Iminent Toolbar and Fifex that could decrease your system productivity and display additional ads in your browser. Web surfers are not advised to use ForYourWeb.net or its clone YourWebing.com because they could be redirected to harmful domains and be suggested to install rogueware like Antivirus IS and Antivirus PC 2010. The fake security software mentioned before may scare users with many fake alerts to convince users to pay for a premium license.
