Blinx.com

Blinx.com is another search engine website that offers fraudulent and worthless results in exchange for your time and attention. Like many other types of fake search sites, such as Njksearch.com, licosearch.com, 2dayoftheweek.com, findgala.com or 4dayoftheweek.com, Blinx.com uses a variant of a Google Redirect Virus to force you to visit its site. Signs of a browser hijack by Blinx.com can include unusual homepage settings being redirected to Blinx.com after you tried to visit an unrelated website, blocked website access, pop-ups or links that appear in unusual places. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you try to keep your browser away from Blinx.com and its potentially-harmful links and, if possible, to delete Blinx.com browser hijackers with a solid anti-malware program when you feel up to the task.

Don't Blink or You Might Miss a Spoiled Blinx.com Link

Blinx.com claims to offer 'the best search links on the net,' and uses a stylish purple and yellow banner to make you feel right at home with using its search-related services. However, despite this pleasant facade, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that Blinx.com displays all the expected characteristics of a fraudulent search engine site.

Typical links from Blinx.com will expose you to advertisements that are completely unrelated to your search queries. Other links may attempt to steal information by pretending to be account log-in forms for legitimate companies, while others still may try to shove fake security programs and other types of scamware off onto your hard drive. In all cases, there's a high probability that your PC will be infected directly by the exploitation of drive-by-download scripts. Turning off Flash and Java can help you avoid these scripts, although any exposure will still carry a certain amount of risk for your computer.

Opening Your Eyes Wide to Blinx.com's Most Dangerous Attacks

SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have also locked down Blinx.com as more than just a bad search engine site – Blinx.com is also a partner of malicious security programs, especially browser hijackers. Even one visit to Blinx.com is enough for your PC to be infected by a Blinx.com browser hijacker. Symptoms of attacks by a Blinx.com infection can include:

• Being unable to change your browser settings, especially if they've been changed from their default values.
• Having your homepage set to Blinx.com.
• Being redirected to Blinx.com after you try to navigate to another website, either by typing an URL or by clicking on a link.

Because browser hijacks may be only one of many attacks that a Blinx.com-affiliated infection can launch against your computer, you should react hastily to delete any Blinx.com-related software on your hard drive. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts recommend Safe Mode as the preferred environment for removing Blinx.com and anti-malware program of high-quality as the preferable tool for the job.
