If your computer system is constantly forcing you to visit Results-page.net, this is a sign that your computer has become compromised and that you have become a victim of an extremely dangerous malware infection. While Results-page.net is not particularly dangerous in itself, most computer users that end up at the Results-page.net web page do so because of a severe malware infection. Results-page.net is a website that is designed to mimic legitimate search engines, but is actually designed to deliver advertisements. After using Results-page.net's fake search function, computer users will find that the results that Results-page.net displays are completely irrelevant to the computer user's search, usually advertising shady websites or online scams. Usually, computer users will arrive at the Results-page.net because a browser hijacker on their computer system has forced their web browser to take them to this fake search engine. The most common browser hijacker associated with Results-page.net is known as the Google Redirect Virus, a Trojan infection that changes the search results on a search on a legitimate search engine (such as Google, from which this Trojan derives its name) so that the search results will lead to Results-page.net in place of to their matching website. Unskilled computer users not understanding that these kinds of redirects are not normal, may then mistake Results-page.net for an extension of Google or for a similar website, trying their search again and generating traffic and advertising revenue for the criminals behind Results-page.net.

Results-page.net is Part of a Rotating Group of Fake Search Engines

The browser hijacker mentioned above does not link to Results-page.net exclusively. There are hundreds of similar fake search engines which may receive traffic from this browser hijacker – Results-page.net is just one of these. The malware infection linked to Results-page.net has several components, one of which establishes a connection with a remote server which periodically receives a new list of fake search engines and malicious website that the browser hijacker will then use to direct its victim's online activity. The most dangerous part of a Results-page.net-related infection is a rootkit component, often a variety of the TDSS or ZeroAccess rootkits. This rootkit will hide the browser hijacker and other malware, disable the victim's security programs and make the removal of this infection much more difficult to remove. In the case of the presence of these components, a reliable anti-malware program with anti-rootkit technology, or a specialized rootkit-removal tool, may be necessary in order to stop redirects to the Results-page.net web page.
