Remove Search.dramofog.com
One of the most common issues that Windows users experience is random redirects to unknown websites. This issue might sound like a serious malware infection but, thankfully, it usually has nothing to do with high-profile malware. These intrusive changes are often the doing of a browser hijacker or a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that users installed by accident. One of the websites that rely on such software to receive more traffic is Search.dramofog.com – if you see it while browsing the Web, then you should certainly check your system for PUPs or hijackers.
The good news is that Search.dramofog.com is not dangerous. It hosts a bland search engine, which runs search queries through two other search services – Genieosearch.com and Yahoo Search. The former is also a subpar quality search engine that gets traffic through browser hijackers. The latter is, of course, a legitimate service that is safe to use. The catch is that Search.dramofog.com's creators get money for all searches done through their site. These searches may also expose users to more sponsored results, ads, and other marketing content.
The PUPs or hijackers promoting Search.dramofog.com usually reconfigure Web browsers to redirect users to this site whenever a user performs certain actions. These actions include opening a new tab, accessing their homepage, or searching the Web through the address bar. If you are experiencing such issues, we suggest that you deal with the problem immediately. You can do this by running an up-to-date anti-malware tool. While these are meant to ward off high-profile threats, they are also your best friend when it comes to dealing with low-level intruders like PUPs and browser hijackers.
