Although the installer of Search.yourinterestsnow.com could be attached to malicious installers, our research team has found that this hijacker follows a browser extension called “Your Interests Now.” This extension is represented by SaferBrowser (at yourinterestsnow.com/Interests?). Are you familiar with this company already? It is most likely that you are not; however, we talked about the removal of many of its products. Most browser extensions created by this company hide hijackers, including Search.myspeedtestxp.com and Search.easyclassifiedsaccess.com, and, of course, they must be deleted for the same reasons that you should remove Search.yourinterestsnow.com. Although you really do not need another reason to get rid of this hijacker besides its illegal infiltration, there are a few other things you need to consider. First of all, this search tool shows modified search results. When you enter a keyword, your request is processed via extsearch.maxwebsearch.com, and you are routed to Yahoo Search.
