Powernews2012.com

Powernews2012.com advertises weight loss pills and seems to contain articles and news related to the weight loss niche. However, the main problem with Powernews2012.com is the fact that this website has been associated with browser hijackers. These kinds of malware infections take over the infected computer system's web browser and force it to visit Powernews2012.com and other websites against the computer user's will. While criminals can reap a tidy profit from pay-per-click schemes and advertising revenue, this comes at the expense of computer users that are not only inconvenienced, but also exposed to potential malware intrusions (that is, apart from the browser hijacker causing Powernews2012.com redirects). If you find that your web browser is redirecting you to the Powernews2012.com web page against your authorization, this is a sure sign that your computer system is infected with malware. ESG security analysts strongly advise using a reliable anti-malware program to scan your computer system completely.

Powernews2012.com advertises a product named Power Slim. These seem to be fairly generic weight loss pills. The Powernews2012.com main page will usually contain an article; at present, this article is about the supposed weight loss powers of Acai berries. It is fairly obvious that the Powernews2012.com website is intended to promote Power Slim and that Powernews2012.com is either connected to the manufacturers of this product or that the makers of Powernews2012.com benefit by advertising Power Slim. While malware researchers do not have the knowledge or authority to make a judgment on the effectiveness of weight loss pills, the ways in which these are advertised are devious and require infecting computer systems with malware.

• Causing the infected computer system to display Powernews2012.com in a pop-up window.
• Altering online search results so that they direct to Powernews2012.com instead of to legitimate search results.
