Search.searchtrmypa(.)com – Description
Search.searchtrmypa(.)com is the search engine of the browser hijacker named Track This Package. The search engine is that of a tool that supposedly tracks a package you have bought overseas or from another city, through the Internet. It also shares similar websites via its toolbar. You will see lots of targeted content from some of the redirects, if not from all of them.
When the hijacker is on your PC, you might witness heaps of redirects towards the Search.searchtrmypa(.)com page. Your settings will be tampered with by the unwanted program. All of your browsers can get their new tab, start page, search engine, and other settings switched. The software is developed by the SaferBrowser company. They have made lots of browser hijackers and continue to make new ones, as you can see. You can look at articles in our blog about the SaferBrowser’s hijackers.
This is how the search engine looks like:
A browser extension or some add-on might be set in your browser applications and change their settings, like the start page, new tab, search and the like. Additional components such as these extensions mainly come from bundled applications and get on your PC with their installation. So, you could see redirects when browsing and information sent through them to the servers of Search.searchtrmypa(.)com, which is probably also sent to its affiliates and partners.
If Search.searchtrmypa(.)com is on your computer system and is affecting your browsers, you could experience slowdowns in performance. You can get redirected and be rattled by the newly-changed browser settings. Every search query you make will be filtered by the search engine of this hijacker and data about you, and your computer machine can be acquired. Misleading, sponsored content, and advertisements can show in the search results. The ads could be pop-ups, pop-unders, in-text links, or some other form of advertising.
From the screenshot shown above, you can see the search results page you land on from the Search.searchtrmypa(.)com search engine. You are redirected to the search results page of other search engines, which are reputable. You can see that Yahoo is the search given here as an example, but other famous search engines might be shown, too. That is used by hijackers, so they can trick you into trusting them.
All queries you make in any search bar will go through the modified search, filtered by the hijacker, and the information sent to its servers. So, be very careful in what searches you conduct. Read below to find out what information exactly could be extracted from the things you type and from your Internet presence, while you have the hijacker on your computer.
