Super-page.com Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is Super Page?
Super Page is identical to other variants including Boxo Search and Spot Search. Super Page and its variants claim to enhance the Internet browsing experience by displaying advanced Internet search results
- "Super Page aims to provide the ultimate online search experience. Our advanced technology provides you with the best of what the web has to offer, and makes it easier than ever to find exactly what you are searching for."
These claims are merely attempts to trick users into believing that this application is legitimate and useful. In fact, Super Page is considered to be a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).
After infiltration on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox), Super Page modifies browser settings, causes unwanted redirects, and tracks user information.
Super Page assigns the browser default search engine, homepage, and new tab URL settings to the super-page.com website. Furthermore, it is delivered with browser add-ons and applications designed to prevent users from reverting these changes.
In doing so, Super Page diminishes the browsing experience - when users search the Internet, or simply open new browser tabs, they are automatically redirected to super-page.com. In addition, users' Internet browsing activity is continually monitored and various information is gathered.
The Super Page Privacy Policy states that this application collects no personally identifiable information, however, this statement is false, since the collected details include IP addresses, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, language settings, etc. - clearly, private information.
Be aware that this data can be misused by third parties, and therefore, having Super Page installed on your system can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall this adware.
We do not collect personal identification information including names, phone numbers and addresses. Users might be asked to add their email address to get information about Babylon Software and other special offers from Babylon Ltd. We do collect information necessary to enable certain features in the Toolbar Platform. We do not sell, rent or trade any personally identifiable information you provide when using the Toolbar, Search Software or the Web Sites.
Super Page is a regular browser hijacker, and thus, shares many similarities with other browser hijacking apps. There are hundreds of rogue websites (for example, mymapsxp.com, omiga-plus.com, and zwiiky.com) also presented as 'legitimate and virus-free'.
Despite these claims, none provide the features promised - these websites diminish browser/computer performance, cause unwanted browser redirects, display adverts, and collect personally identifiable information to generate revenue for the developers.
How did Super Page install on my computer?
Super Page is distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', and thus, often installs without users' consent. Bundling is a way to distribute third party apps together with regular software. Most users do not pay enough attention when downloading/installing software, and therefore, this method is very effective.
Many do not realize that rogue applications such as Super Page are often hidden within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' options, and by skipping these steps, they inadvertently install bogus applications.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Download your chosen software from a trusted source - usually the official website of the software. When downloading from a freeware download website, select the direct download link (some websites still provide this option).
If you are forced to use the download app, pay close attention and follow each step of the procedure to ensure that only the chosen app is downloaded. In addition, software should be installed with the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' options - this will reveal any bundled apps listed for installation and allow you to opt-out.
