Topdoafinder.com

Posted: February 13, 2012

Topdoafinder.com is a website that claims to offer search results and links for cruise ship bargains, technological news and other topics of interest, but browser redirect attacks have been redirecting PC users to Topdoafinder.com. Because browser hijackers that are affiliated with Topdoafinder.com may also be included alongside PC threats, it's recommended that you react to any Topdoafinder.com redirect attack by resorting to powerful anti-malware software. Since browser redirect attacks that promote Topdoafinder.com have also indicated that Topdoafinder.com's genuine link-providing features may be nil, you may also wish to avoid or, at a minimum, exercise caution around Topdoafinder.com, with or without the involvement of associated browser hijackers.

Topdoafinder.com – a Search Site with a Name That's Hilarious in Hindsight

SpywareRemove.com malware analysts haven't found any indications that Topdoafinder.com is engaged in the distribution of malicious software or direct attacks against visiting computers, but, nonetheless, have found the 'doa' portion of Topdoafinder.com's name to be ironically appropriate in at least one way. While Topdoafinder.com itself may still be active as of February 2012, search results that are routed through Topdoafinder.com can be accurately said to be 'dead on arrival,' since Topdoafinder.com hasn't been noted to give out any sort of real search results for visitors. This includes visitors who are forced to load Topdoafinder.com by web browser hijackers, which are the most common means of exposure to Topdoafinder.com.

Standard payloads from browser hijackers that promote Topdoafinder.com will take the form of a Google Redirect Virus, such as by redirecting your browser to Topdoafinder.com only after you've attempted to follow a Google-provided link. Unlike most types of search engine sites that are promoted by browser hijackers, Topdoafinder.com will not even bother to provide appropriate links to the original destination – instead, Topdoafinder.com will simply enjoy the traffic at your expense.

Finding a Way to Surf the Web without Topdoafinder.com's 'Help'

Because SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have discovered that browser hijackers that are affiliated with Topdoafinder.com limit their redirects to Google-based attacks, you can avoid these redirects temporarily by eschewing Google for an alternate and equally-reputable search engine. However, since browser redirect attacks to Topdoafinder.com may also be symptoms of infection by high-level PC threats, potentially including rootkits, you shouldn't attempt to ignore Topdoafinder.com browser redirects (even if they are easily avoided). Some victims of Topdoafinder.com redirect attacks have also reported experiencing system crashes at random.

To solve these issues and insure that all related types of malicious software are also removed, SpywareRemove.com malware research team recommends that you scan your machine with an appropriate anti-malware product. Updating your scanner's threat database may also be a necessity, since Topdoafinder.com's redirect attacks were only noted recently in February of 2012 and corresponding browser hijackers may have been updated to avoid some forms of security software.
