CreditPuma.com

CreditPuma.com is a little-known search engine that managed to clamber into the attention of PC security companies once CreditPuma.com started being promoted by browser hijackers. Symptoms of browser hijackers that promote CreditPuma.com have, so far, been noted to only strike in Windows environments, although any type of popular web browser may suffer from this affliction. Redirects to CreditPuma.com have also been noted to be accompanied by other issues (such as slowed OS performance or network propagation) that can make related PC threats a danger to the safety of your own computer, as well as that of any computer that comes into contact with yours. Due to the potential risks involved in any CreditPuma.com redirect attack, it's recommended that you remove browser hijackers for CreditPuma.com with dedicated anti-malware software that can also remove related forms of malicious software, such as worms or rootkits, without a problem.

The Illicit Partners of CreditPuma.com That Have No Intention of Respecting Your Web-Browsing Rights

CreditPuma.com is a search engine website that claims to offer general search results like Google or Yahoo Search. While CreditPuma.com hasn't been known to exhibit harmful qualities in and of itself, neither has CreditPuma.com achieved fame by coming out as a legitimate competitor against other search engines, nor it's likely that search results from CreditPuma.com are either 'borrowed' from other sites or used to promote advertisements and affiliates. However, while contact with CreditPuma.com may not be harmful to your PC, symptoms of browser redirects to CreditPuma.com are an indication of a serious infection by browser hijackers and, potentially, other PC threats. These redirects are often limited to search engine websites or popular media sites like YouTube.

Redirects to CreditPuma.com can occur in Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox, and may or may not be restricted to a specific type of web browser. Although browser hijackers that market CreditPuma.com are Windows-specific, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have also noted that related PC threats may have broader capabilities than their attendant browser hijackers. In some cases, redirects to CreditPuma.com were caused by altered router settings, particularly for Linksys WAG54G V.3 routers, and you may need to change these settings back after you've removed the CreditPuma.com-promoting browser hijacker with specialized anti-malware software. Browser redirects to CreditPuma.com may also be split between CreditPuma.com itself and a similar site with the URL Dietpuma.com that should be treated as equivalent to CreditPuma.com in all meaningful respects.

Shooting Down the CreditPuma.com-Promoting Beast

Although browser hijackers for CreditPuma.com may have limited functionality and haven't been noted for spyware attacks or other types of web browser interferences, the following PC threats have been noted to appear in conjunction with browser hijackers:

• Worms that spread through local networks and removable drive devices, automatically installing themselves on other computers.
• Rootkits that infect root-level access components of your PC to avoid detection by normal means, such as observing a new process in Task Manager.

Both of these types of malicious software should be considered potentially very dangerous for your PC even if browser redirects to CreditPuma.com aren't especially harmful. Therefore, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you immediately scan your computer after any symptoms of a CreditPuma.com redirect.
