Magical Find is the name of a potentially unwanted program, meaning a software that is not recognized as malicious by several antivirus because it doesn’t actually act as a virus; on the other hand we say “potentially unwanted” because it’s usually installed quietly onto our systems.
Magical Find‘s goals are quite simple, first of all to be an ads distributor affecting every browser installed in our computer (either Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome) and to act as a spy collecting data about our web activity.
Ads shown byMagical Find can be literally seen everywhere, they can be inserted directly onto the content of every website we visit (as banners, pop-ups or underlined words) or they can be seen in new windows and tabs that open up every time we click on something, although sometimes not even that little action is necessary. These ads are tagged as Magical Find Ads or Ads by Magical Find, we notice we have been infected usually by noticing this tags.
Magical Find also acts as a spy, saving digital data about its victim in the hope of building commercial profiles. As such, websites you visit and searches you make will be saved into huge databases.
We can find a sort of official website for Magical Find on the net, however you can’t even download the software there. The only reason this website exists is because they needed a place to publish their conditions of use, so no one can act legally against them.
Magical Find is not unknown by several antivirus because it is nothing but a new version of the previous infection called BrowseFox. SuperWeb LLC the company behind these infections rarely changes its methods, all it does is change the name of the software and register a new website for the conditions of use.
