Search.bureau108.fr hijacker - How to remove

Search.bureau108.fr is a typical website, but there are some dark things behind this domain. It is listed as browser hijacker infection,  which can affect all most popular web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

If you are seeing this website as the first thing when a web browser is opened, but you do not remember setting it as a homepage, that means a malicious add-on or extension has been added to your web browser and it is causing various unwanted symptoms. Usually users struggle to get rid of annoying malware like this, so keep reading this article and learn how to deal with this problem.

Search.bureau108.fr hijacker is listed as malware not for no reason. First of all, usually it enters computer in a corrupt way. The most common distribution method for a malware like this – bundling. I.e. when you download and install some freeware from the Internet, this extension will be downloaded alongside it and installed behind your back. That’s why you should always pay close attention to the installation of free software and only install software downloaded from reliable websites.

Once it is installed, Search.bureau108.fr hijacker will make some changes on your web browsers (or one of them) automatically. Both homepage and default search engine will be set to www.Search.bureau108.fr. Why they are doing this? The answer is clear – developers behind Bureau108 are making money by displaying various advertisements to users. Since they can’t build traffic in a legal way, they distribute malware, infect computers and push tons of ads to visitors.

By the way – there are two versions of this website. Search engine (search.bureau108.fr) and static homepage (bureau108.fr). Usually, when a computer is infected, first version is displayed. Search engine page looks like a regular one, even though it features a huge advertisement on a first screen already. However, if your try to search for something, you will notice that there are more ads than actual content on the search results pages. Every search results page on Search.bureau108.fr features at least 2 massive banner advertisements and a block with links which looks like organic search results, but in reality it’s just a way to promote affiliated websites. Regardless of what you are searching for, links to myformsfinder.com and pconverter.com will be featured at the top of the list. That leads to the assumption, that those websites are also unreliable and affiliated with malware.

It might look like this infection is dedicated to the French market since the domain extension is .fr and the content of bureau108.fr website is also in French, but it can really infect computer in various countries, not only France. Another scary insight – there are no contact information, privacy policy or legal disclaimer to be seen on any of those pages. That means legal relationship between you and the service provider is indefinite. If something wrong happens due to this website, no one will take responsibility for that.

We have examined the domain and figured out that the domain is registered in France and the IP address is 195.154.194.46. However, we failed to learn the company behind this website. For this and other reasons mentioned before, we highly suggest to eliminate Search.bureau108.fr from your computer as soon as possible.
