Joeyyoga.com Redirect

What is joeyyoga.com?

joeyyoga.com is a deceptive website claiming to be a legitimate Internet search engine that significantly enhances the Internet browsing experience by generating improved search results.

Many users believe that joeyyoga.com is a legitimate and useful website, however, developers promote this site using rogue software download/installation tools that stealthily modify web browser settings without consent. Furthermore, joeyyoga.com continually monitors Internet browsing activity.

Deceptive download/installation set-ups infiltrate Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, assigning the default search engine, homepage, and new tab URL options to joeyyoga.com/search.php.

Set-ups append this URL to the target of each browser shortcut and, therefore, users are automatically redirected to joeyyoga.com when opening a browser, new browser tab, or attempting to search via the URL bar. Set-ups infiltrate a number of third party applications and/or browser extensions (so-called "helper objects").

These apps/plug-ins reassign the aforementioned options when attempts are made to change them. Therefore, users are unable to return browsers to their previous states. Continual unwanted browser redirects significantly diminish the browsing experience. Another downside is information tracking.

Helper objects and joeyyoga.com record various data types relating to users' Internet browsing activity, such as search queries, URLs visited, pages viewed, IP addresses, etc. This data might be personally identifiable and is often shared by developers with third parties who misuse private information to generate revenue.

This behavior can lead to serious privacy issues. If you encounter unwanted redirects to joeyyoga.com, uninstall all suspicious applications/browser plug-ins and never visit this site again.

joeyyoga.com is identical to searchudak.com, safesearch1.ru, seargoo.com, and many other websites. All have identical appearance and  behavior. By claiming to generate improved search results, websites such as joeyyoga.com attempt to give the impression of legitimacy.

Be aware, however, that these sites are designed only to generate revenue for the developers - joeyyoga, and these other sites, merely cause unwanted redirects and collect private data. They are useless for regular users.

How did joeyyoga.com install on my computer?

This fake search engine is promoted using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". All information regarding modification of browser settings is hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" download or installation options.

Rushing and skipping this section can inadvertently grant set-ups permission to modify various browser options. This exposes the system to risk of infection and compromises privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two simple steps you should take to prevent this situation. Firstly, never rush when downloading and installing software. Select the "Custom/Advanced" settings and closely observe each step. Secondly, decline offers to download/install additional apps and never allow set-ups to modify settings irrelevant to the installation.
