The Luckysearches.com adware is a browser hijacker that is bundled with free programs you download off of the Internet. Many free programs are wrapped in an adware installer that installs programs like this hijacker in order to generate revenue for the freeware developer. Unfortunately, many of these programs are just as bad as normal computer malware and can have a harmful effect on your computer. The Luckysearches.com adware is a browser hijacker that changes browser shortcuts, your browser search provider, and browser start pages to Luckysearches.com without your permission. Furthermore, this adware will append the argument http://www.luckysearches.com/?type=hp&ts=&from=&uid= to various web browser shortcuts and sometimes non-Internet related programs.
