Security experts perceive the search engine on Topfindings.net as unreliable, and they warn that this domain may be associated with a browser hijacker and riskware such as Mywebsearch.com and WeatherBlink Toolbar. The browser hijacker associated with Topfindings.net may be deployed to users via free software bundles and might show up as a Browser Helper Object, extension, add-on and plug-in. The Topfindings.net search engine does not produce text results properly and does not employ HTTP encrypted connections. Also, the Topfindings.net search engine does not offer users to specify the number of results per page they want to see. The behavior of the Topfindings.net search engine makes it less than desirable to use, and that is why a browser hijacker may help its operators boost their Internet traffic. The Topfindings.net browser hijacker may alter the DNS settings of infected users as well as their browser settings to make sure users are diverted to the Topfindings.net website. Moreover, the Topfindings.net browser hijacker may use JavaScript and ActionScript3t to block the native ads on Amazon and eBay to display commercials from sponsors and earn affiliate marketing revenue for its developers. The Topfindings.net browser hijacker may include a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to download and install patches automatically. The Topfindings.net browser hijacker may install third-party software such as YouTube Accelerator and QueenCoupon automatically. The Topfindings.net browser hijacker acts similarly to the one linked to Asiasearch.co and may place its files in the hidden AppData system folder to stay undetected. Computer users that have been infected with the Topfindings.net browser hijacker should seek the help of a trusted anti-malware solution to clean their systems.
