Yubby Ads

'Yubby' is a name that computer security experts associate with adware activities. The Yubby software is classified as adware due to complaints of unwanted browser redirect. Also, lab tests that showed the Yubby application can be found in free software bundles with bloatware inside and a few browser hijackers. The Yubby adware was found to cause browser redirects to various advertisement platforms, load numerous sites in background tabs and invite the users to install DNS settings from unreliable DNS providers. The Yubby adware may arrive on computers in the company of the WebDiscover Browser, ProxyGate, NativeDesktopMediaService and One SystemCare. User reports suggest the Yubby adware can change the default search provider to Yeadesktop.com.

The Yubby software may have an entry in the 'Control Panel' and the MSCONFIG utility. The Yubby adware may boot with Windows and run from a process with a random name. Programs like Yubby may inject code in browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer to make sure you are shown customized advertisements. The Yubby adware is likely to send information like your Internet history, search terms on Google and installed extensions to a remote server.

You should note that the Yubby adware may use a service called GeoSmartDNS (hxxp://www.geosmartdns[.]com) to reroute your incoming and outgoing data requests. Your browser may seem slower, and you may be shown promotional materials in new tabs and pop-up windows.
