Installs a toolbar that changes the homepage and default search engine. How all these toolbars, keeps track of the visits made by the user and sends it to their servers to send targeted advertising.

No investigations have found malware associated with this toolbar that I can find. However, it does demonstrate these characteristics: homepage hijacking, and can redirect searches from other toolbars to it's own. Whether this redirection is intentional or just a glitch from badly written software remains to be determined. Either way, a reputable company would make the homepage reset optional, and the option very clear - this toolbar doesn't. Also, it will not register itself with the operating system, and give a link in add/remove programs to remove it. removal can be problematic because of this.

VirusTotal thinks it's not a threat (https://www.virustotal.com/url/ec1ebeb83409fffe0256c9657aed2aaa5368b66bebae9b1d030984734399e799/analysis/) but my firefox browser gave a warning to visit this site. Mozillas URL is now ***** they won the trademark battle.

I've got this virus. And I don't know how to remove it. I've followed some tutorials for firefox. It helped, but... Every time I open a new tab it goes to searchqu. P.S. this only happens at firefox. UPDATE : I got rid of it!

Hijacked my Google homepage without me even going to a site to get the exploit might as well be a virus with how hungry to change your setting's over and over with no way to stop it! (any info to get rid of this post in the comments pleas.) This is absolutely the worst false clean ever! This is absolutely criminal (with what they do to your settings) and nothing more! Edit: This is how to stick it to these sly jack ass pricks. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Searchqu Toolbar. Uninstall this evil program. And you should get your browser un exploited. Yes see they made a program that is both malicious and virus like but at the same time not technically a self replicating virus. You will probably come across two or more similar files that pretend to uninstall it, don't give up it's there and can be uninstalled.

Il s'invite dans ton navigateur et change ta page d’accueil. Il s'auto-installe à travers des logiciels que l'on installe.
