Search.So-V.com is a site that is advertised by its partners and free software installers as been capable of offering a safe environment to search the Internet and providing advanced search options that may not be present on Google and Yahoo. The Search.So-V.com search provider has a minimalistic design that may appeal to many users, and you may want to set it as your homepage. However, the Search.So-V.com site is a redirect-gateway that is associated with a browser hijacking application that may use Search.So-V.com to record your search terms and show pop-up and pop-under windows loaded with marketing content. The Search.So-V.com browser hijacking application may have been offered to you as a search optimizer that was accompanying programs such as free video and audio players. In most cases, security experts note that browser hijackers are promoted as search optimizers to appear safe and demand limited resources. Although the facts reveal another picture, the Search.So-V.com browser hijacker may cause browser crashes, and users may not load HD-videos on Vimeo and YouTube correctly.
The Search.So-V.com browser hijacker is developed by the same team behind the Infospace.com browser hijacker and might redirect users to the legitimate page of Google after injecting promotional materials in the header section. The ads generated by the Search.So-V.com browser hijacker may appear as in-text hyperlinks and direct users to insecure online shops and suspicious forums. Web filters like Mozilla Phishing Protection, Sucuri, and Barracuda block the content supplied by the Search.So-V.com browser hijacker, but these protection mechanisms may be disabled on infected machines. Additionally, the Search.So-V.com browser hijacker may invite users to install adware like Clock Hand and DomalQ. Your connection to the Search.So-V.com domain is not secure with SSL encryption, and third parties may intercept data transfers between your PC and remote servers. Security experts advise users to stall a trustworthy anti-malware utility to purge the Search.So-V.com browser hijacker and upgrade their defenses.
