About this infection

AimSearch virus ads and redirects are brought about by an advertising-supported application installed on your computer. Rushed freeware installations usually lead to advertising-supported software infections.

However, if it managed to redirect you to a damaging domain, advertising-supported software may bring about a much more dangerous threat. We strongly encourage you remove AimSearch virus before it might bring about more severe consequences.

How does an advertising-supported application work

Adware may manage to set up onto the system without proper permission from you, using free programs. If you someone who frequently gets free applications then you should be aware of the fact that that it can arrive together with undesirable offers. Adware,  reroute viruses and other potentially unnecessary programs (PUPs) are among those that could get past.
