Search.scalableadmin.com (ScalableAdmin) is a fake search engine promoted by unwanted software that combines traits of browser hijackers and adware. As a rule, search engines installed by browser hijackers are considered fake because they are unable to generate their own results. Instead, the entered search queries usually get redirected through intermediary pages and end up on legitimate engines like Yahoo, Google, Bing, and so forth. This way, cybercriminals generate fake traffic and earn money without significant development efforts. Another way unwanted software can capitalize on users financially is by getting commissions from displayed ads that try to sell low-quality programs, promote online scams, lead users to explicit (18+) pages, and then some. Beware of clicking on such content to prevent financial losses or infections with malware. One more feature activated by many browser hijackers and adware is data-tracking abilities.
