SearchPack/SearchSpy/SearchURL is a bundle of three different adware and spyware programs.  SearchPack is a Trojan Dropper program that delivers pop-up and pop-under ads.  SearchSpy is also a Trojan Dropper, but it has spyware capabilities.  SearchURL is a Browser Hijacker Toolbar with spyware abilities.

Prior to the existence of this bundle, SearchPack was often found by itself, while SearchSpy and SearchURL were bundled.  This newer bundle is obviously a more aggressive attempt by spyware providers to infect computers.

It is highly recommended that if you get infected with this threat to remove it immediately.  It is a serious threat to your computer’s stability, operating speed and your personal privacy.  SpyZooka has no trouble removing this bundle.

Also Known As:
SearchSpy and SearchURL are often considered aliases of each other, but they are separate programs that are often bundled together.

Type: Bundle—Adware Dropper, Spyware Dropper, and Spyware Browser Hijacker/Toolbar
