Yahoo! Search

Pay-By-Ads' Yahoo! Search is a web browser application that displays banner ads and contextual link ads on web pages. These ads are injected by the web browser plugin and may appear on any website, regardless of affiliation with the publisher. The application may feature up to 10 intext ads, 4 banner ads, and/or a transitional ad on web pages. It is important to note that this software is not associated with Yahoo. The program is often bundled with third-party download managers that use deceptive advertising techniques to install the software. In addition to displaying ads, the program may modify browser settings, including lowering security settings, changing the home page, and altering the search provider (known as web browser hijacking). Additionally, the extension may report user behavior on the internet, including visited URLs and domains, as well as interaction with advertisements. It is worth mentioning that this adware is typically bundled with third-party download managers that include numerous additional offers, some of which may be unwanted programs.
