Ya.ru

On initial inspection, ya.ru may appear legitimate and useful, however, this website continually records various information relating to Internet browsing activity. In addition, developers promote it by employing various download/installation set-ups designed to modify web browser settings without users' consent.

Deceptive set-ups hijack Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, stealthily assigning the new tab URL, default search engine, and homepage options to ya.ru. They then append targets of browser shortcuts with this same URL. Therefore, users encounter unwanted redirects to ya.ru when they open a new browser tab or search via the URL bar.

In addition, ya.ru (and helper objects) continually record various user-system information that might be personally identifiable including, for example, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc. The data is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing personal details.

Therefore, information tracking can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. If you encounter unwanted redirects to ya.ru, uninstall all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. Never return to this site.
