By Sumo3000 in Browser Hijackers

Google.isearchinfo.com mimics Google and has the appearance of an actual search engine. Malware associated with the Google.isearchinfo.com website is usually referred to as a browser hijacker. These kinds of malware infections take over the victim's web browser, making unauthorized changes to the computer's settings and forcing it to visit certain websites repeatedly. ESG malware researchers note that the presence of Google.isearchinfo.com redirects on your web browser is a definitive symptom that your computer has become infected with a browser hijacker.

Even though the Google.isearchinfo.com website is not particularly attractive or useful, the Google.isearchinfo.com still receives numerous visits and has abnormally high traffic numbers, despite the wealth of reliable, free alternatives that exist. This is because the majority of Google.isearchinfo.com's visitors may be visiting this website against their will due to a browser hijacker infection on their computer. This allows criminals to generate huge profits from shady pay-per-click and advertising marketing schemes.

Browser hijackers associated with Google.isearchinfo.com will typically not attack the web browser directly. Rather, they make changes to your computer's settings that affect how it connects to the Internet. This is done by altering or replacing the HOSTS file, which your computer uses to process IP addresses by determining the DNS servers used to connect to websites. It is important to remember this because deleting or reinstalling your web browser will do nothing to stop Google.isearchinfo.com redirects and other irritating symptoms associated with these kinds of browser hijackers. Instead, it demands the use of a devoted anti-malware application to scan your computer for malware. Since browser hijackers associated with these kinds of redirects will typically include a rootkit component, ESG malware analysts advise using an anti-malware program with anti-rootkit technology when trying to stop Google.isearchinfo.com redirects.
