Remarkablesearchsystem.com is a ZeroAccess rootkit-related browser hijacker that redirects users to totally different websites when they click on links on Google and other web search engines. In the bottom right it says Waiting for remarkablesearchsystem.com which I'm fairly sure is not something you recognize. Therefore it is not surprising because this domain was bought only a few months ago. The redirects happen when using major search engines in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. This rootkit may affect other web browsers as well. Once infected, your computer may become noticably slower. ZeroAccess virus blocks legitimate anti-malware programs, injects malicious code into Windows system files to bypass firewall.
Remarkablesearchsystem.com is only a gateway to dangerous websites. Most of the time, it promotes spammy websites and services, however, this rootkit may redirect you to infected websites too. Usually, cyber criminals use fake you tube and adult websites to distribute malware. It could be anything really, from adware to baking trojans. The rootkit starts a process with a very unique name with the following structure: numbers:numbers.exe, for example 34956595:36788464.exe. Just open up Task Manager and you'll see it.
