The Yougoo.fr website does is not ranked high according to Alexa and Google Page Rank, and that may be one of the reasons why it is associated with a browser hijacker. Security analysts note that site owners may use the services of badware developers to boost the Internet traffic to their servers to earn a pretty penny. The browser hijacker at hand is designed to alter the browser settings of infected users and make Yougoo.fr the default homepage and search provider. The Yougoo.fr site hosts a custom search engine that is programmed to produce search results in French and provides information that is relevant to French-speaking users from Belgium, Canada, Cameroon, Congo, Madagascar, and others. The Yougoo.fr browser hijacker may be distributed to users that like to use freeware for their computer activities and be offered as a search optimizer. The Yougoo.fr browser hijacker may appear in the 'Programs and Features' Panel' under the names of Toolbar NetworkTools and YougooToolbar. Security analysts report that corrupted DLLs that feature the names YougooToolbar and Toolbar NetworkTools are found to alter the behavior of browser based on Chromium, Trident, and Gecko. The samples of the Yougoo.fr browser hijacker that were analyzed are signed by a company known as GibMedia. You might want to avoid following links that are provided by the YougooToolbar because GibMedia is associated with cyber threats like Zlob.PornAdvertiser.ba and the Gibmedia adware. The Yougoo.fr browser hijacker may modify your DNS settings to reroute your Internet traffic to Yougoo.fr and block your access to search services by competitors. Users that have Toolbar NetworkTools on their PC may not be able to change their search scopes and start page. The Toolbar NetworkTools browser hijacker is a security risk that should not be overlooked because it might expose users to advanced cyber threats. Needless to say, users should be able to choose their preferred search provider. Consider installing anti-malware suite to clean your Windows system from the corrupted binary that is associated with the Yougoo.fr site.
