YapBrowser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YapBrowser, also known as YapSearch or YapCash, is a rogue web browser that first appeared in 2006. Upon its release, security researchers found that YapBrowser redirected all traffic to a pornographic website which contained images of child pornography.[1] In June 2006, YapBrowser was acquired by SearchWebMe, and it disappeared shortly thereafter.[1] It reappeared in 2011, looking similar to its 2006 form.[1]
