User reports and our research show that this malware infection is mostly spread in the United Kingdom and the United States. Although this search page may look tempting with its nice nature background pictures, you need to know that its presence in your browsers is not without risks. In fact, this infection could pose a threat to your virtual security by displaying potentially unreliable modified search results on your screen.

You may think that this infection appeared on your computer “magically” out of the blue sky; however, you may be surprised to hear that it is most likely that you let it on board yourself. It is possible to do so when you click on questionable third-party advertisements, such as pop-ups and banners, or modified search results. The infection can take place mainly in two ways. First, you may directly install this search engine in your browsers as your new home page or you could be redirected to Yardood.com right away without dropping this infection or any other onto your system. Second, you could download a whole package of malware installers containing this infection as well.

But whichever way you have got infected, both had to start with a click on the wrong content. In other words, it is most likely that you clicked on an unsafe third-party advertisement of some sort. This can happen when you end up on questionable shareware, torrent, and online gambling websites, for example. In fact, any website could be risky that hosts a number of unreliable third-party ads. These pages could be filled with third-party contents that may not always reveal themselves as such. In other words, these ads can be quite confusing sometimes and show up as fake download and next-page buttons as well as browser notifications trying to fool you into downloading some updates. Remember that one click is all schemers need to drop a bundle of threats onto your system or redirect you to suspicious websites or search engines like this one. If you want to secure your computer, we suggest that you delete Yardood.com and then, run a malware scanner to find all other risky programs as well.

This search engine provides you with a choice of decent search engines, including Yahoo and Google. This makes practically this search engine totally redundant. Why would you not use these reputable search engines directly instead, right? Of course, this questionable threat source may seduce you with its background images. But we must warn you about the potential threat that awaits you if you use it for web searches.
