Remove Crackajacksearchsystem.com (Uninstall Guide)

Posted on 10:24 by Unknown
Crackajacksearchsystem.com is a ZeroAccess/Sirefef rootkit-related browser hijacker that may redirect your web browser to a number of spam and misleading websites that usually returns sponsored search results, advertise dubious services, and distribute malicious software. It happens on both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Sometimes, this rootkit displays blank web pages. In the bottom right it says Waiting for crackajacksearchsystem.com and after a couple of seconds redirects the browser to a sponsored website. Usually, internet users notice this issue when they do Google searches and sometimes the rootkit would send them to wrong web pages. ZeroAccess rootkit redirects Yahoo! and Bing searches too.



Popular anti-malware tools may not be able to find the issues and fix it. Besides, this rootkit is one of the most sophisticated malware out there. The owners of this rootkit and botnet may distribute whatever they want, fake AVs, spyware, adware and other malicious software. What is more, ZeroAccess rootkit blocks legitimate anti-malware software. It identifies security product and attempts to stop any processes associated with it. It may change user permissions as well. It's truly annoying. The rootkit starts a process with a very unique name with the following structure: numbers:numbers.exe, for example 35841384:36789843.exe. Just open up Task Manager and you'll see it.
