System.donation-tools.org

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

The System.donation-tools.org domain is reported by users who are redirected to the site and related pages whenever they open a new tab and start an online session. Web surfers that experience redirects via System.donation-tools.org may have installed adware or a browser hijacker that transmits data to the 104.45.213.51 IP address where System.donation-tools.org is registered. A program on your PC may have made mortifications to the parameters of the shortcuts for your Internet browser and forced you to load System.donation-tools.org by default. We should add that the System.donation-tools.org site has a clone hosted on the same IP address but with a different name—irh-system.cloudapp.net. Both portals refer to the following links:

h[tt]p://irh-system.cloudapp(.)net/SearchPage.aspx?n=irh-system
h[tt]p://system.donation-tools(.)org/SearchPage.aspx?n=system
.

Both portals appear to offer a custom search engine powered by the iRobinHood platform, which is promoted at irobinhood.org. The iRobinHood initiative aims to create a network of search sites that Web surfers use to find resources on the Internet and shop online. When you follow links and buy items online via pages like System.donation-tools.org and System.cloudapp.net a commission is deducted from the price you paid and transferred to a non-profit organization that is part of the iRobinHood platform. Participation in the iRobinHood initiative is voluntary. However, there appear to be programmers who have released browser hijacking software that may force Web surfers to certain pages associated with iRobinHood. System.donation-tools.org and System.cloudapp.net are not perceived as legitimate search portals and may not be as useful as Google, Bing and Yahoo. Computer users that click on the links displayed at System.donation-tools.org and System.cloudapp.net, which appear to refer toAmazon, eBay, Alibaba, Aliexpress, and Asos may be rerouted to phishing pages. Computer security analysts recommend the removal of software linked to System.donation-tools.org and System.cloudapp.net with the help of a reliable anti-spyware tool.
