IGetNet

IGetNet is a browser hijacker that re-routes your web requests to MSN or Netscape’s search engines through their servers. It examines your search terms and if you’ve typed in a search targeted to one of their advertisers, it will re-route your request to the advertiser’s site.

IGetNet is easily recognizable because it changes your IE address bar (which is usually blank) to read “Enter Keyword or Web Address Here”. In addition, if your type auto.search.msn.com, search.netscape.com, or ieautosearch in the Address field, you will be re-routed to http://www.igetnet.com.

IGetNet uses over 1Mb of your hard drive space.
