What are Websites like Supersearchserver.com Used For?

Websites like Supersearchserver.com exist for only one purpose: to make a profit for criminals and hackers. Most of the revenue that is generated on the Internet comes from advertisements, page views and links. One sub-category of this kind of revenue is created by affiliate marketing, depending on the number of people that click on a link, are referred to a particular website or purchase a particular product, due to their own advertisement. Hackers and criminals use browser hijackers to force your Internet browser to visit dangerous websites like Supersearchserver.com against your will. This, in turn, creates artificial traffic to their websites and generates money for them through advertisement revenue and affiliate marketing links. Hackers can also profit from websites like Supersearchserver.com by using them to promote or sell certain other malicious products, such as rogue security programs. Rogue security programs are often sold directly or indirectly through websites like Supersearchserver.com. These kinds of fake anti-virus applications are designed to create problems on a computer system and then to extort the victim in order to fix these problems.
