Search.stosgame.com

Search.stosgame.com is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) acting as a browser hijacker linked to a search engine domain of the same name. What the browser hijacker does is to take over your browser's default search provider and control what the users see when they search. The new tab function, default search provider, and homepage also may be changed, and it will provide search results filled with undesired advertisements. Some of these advertisements may be pointing to questionable applications and products, but the most commonly used advertisements the browser hijackers point to are those leading to suspicious websites

Apart from redirecting your search queries, Search.stosgame.com also may gather information on the Web surfing activities, such as IP addresses, visited URLs, browser's version, Internet service provider, cookie information and more. This data may then be sold to third parties for the purpose of providing targeted advertisements in a worst-case scenario, used to collect information if a corrupted link is visited. The Search.stosgame.com website offers a search powered by the Yahoo Search. For those reasons alone, the use of the Search.stosgame.com website and browser extension are discouraged, as the users would be better served by utilizing the more commonly used and trusted search engine sources.
