Browser hijackers associated with Proxy.allsearchapp.com tend to take the form of toolbars for the victim's Web browser. These are often downloaded and installed during the installation of a freeware program. This has become increasingly common in cases where freeware applications are downloaded from untrustworthy third party distributors. These will often take popular freeware programs from legitimate sources and repackage them so that the installer will also install a Web browser hijacker in the form of a supposedly benign toolbar. ESG security researchers strongly advise computer users to be careful when installing any application and to opt out from installing toolbars for their Web browser.

Once these unwanted toolbars are installed, they may cause a number of unwanted symptoms that are commonly associated with Proxy.allsearchapp.com. The most common of these symptoms is the presence of redirects involving Proxy.allsearchapp.com. This means that the infected Web browser will take the computer user to the Proxy.allsearchapp.com website repeatedly, often after clicking on a link, entering an address into the navigation bar or carrying out a search on a legitimate search engine. Browser hijackers associated with Proxy.allsearchapp.com also may cause the infected Web browser to display unwanted pop-up windows, perform poorly, load Web pages slowly, crash frequently and display fake error messages. Browser hijackers associated with Proxy.allsearchapp.com may often keep track of your online activity, using this information to deliver advertisements and other unwanted marketing material to the victim's Web browser. ESG security researchers strongly advise uninstalling any toolbars associated with Proxy.allsearchapp.com redirects and using a reliable anti-malware program to scan the affected computer.
