Adware is classified as a low-level threat that can be easily removed, however, it is very annoying by means of advertisement distribution that is occasionally displayed on the screen. Curiosity and unawareness are the biggest enemies for inexperienced users because they are easily induced into clicking on these ads hence putting their data under a huge risk.

As developers state, WindowMix is designed to enhance your browsing by adding "more intelligent searching algorithms".

Clicking on any of the ads can also lead to the websites that, once entered, start running executable scripts that will infect PC without users' consent.

Such ads can potentially contain suspicious redirects to adult-based websites broadcasting pornography content.

Fuq.com is a malicious redirect classified as a browser hijacker that aggressively transmits people to adult-based pages. It has been spotted targetting solely Mac users, however, there are various similar pieces that pursue other operating systems either. The very first symptom that may hint on the presence of some Unwanted Application installed on your computer is unexpected browser changes that alter default homepage to http:/www.fuq.com and internal settings as a result. Fuq.com is designed to promote porn content which is a crafty way to tantalize and curb gullible users.

Myloginhelper.com, developed by Eightpoint Technologies is an intrusive redirect classified as a browser hijacker. It is accompanied by a browser extension called My Login Helper (alternatively My Login Hub). Myloginhelper.com can be caused either by clicking on suspicious advertisements or due to Potentially Unwanted Applications like adware that can be lurking on your system. On the one hand, Myloginhelper.com provides a wide range of helpful features like fast access to mail services and popular websites. However, on the other hand, under the veil of usefulness, Myloginhelper.com can also promote additional add-ons, new tabs and malicious ads alongside browsing. Once installed on your PC, this type of extension will alter browser settings for fraudulent means, therefore, adding a minimalistic homepage and changing the standard search engine to search.hmyloginhelper.com or hp.hmyloginhub.co, that are ostensibly meant to improve browsing. In fact, all of these features are just visual and do not ensure more convenient usability. Instead, they allow extortionists to garner personal data such as passwords, credentials and other browser-related information.

A.akamaihd.net is a group of fabricated searching domains classified as browser hijackers, that are ostensibly meant to provide more relevant searching results. It also may be presented as pop-ups and redirects, showing up randomly while browsing. A.akamaihd.net serves as a suffix to fake domains that may look like these: lkysearchex11322-a.akamaihd.net, lkysearchds-1657.a.akamaihd.net, searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net, default21076355-a.akamaihd.net and so forth. On top of that, A.akamaihd.net is not an independent piece meaning, that it cannot work without an adware application installed on your computer. If so, the app will, therefore, alter the browser settings without the user's permission and assign custom "searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net" domain as a default search engine. The adware has been seen targetting Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge and Internet Explorer browsers, therefore, covering a wide range of people. Note that the searching queries will be redirected to a legitimate Yahoo search engine.
