Remove Xrenoder. What is Xrenoder and what exactly does it do?

Xrenoder hijacks your search settings. It diverts your browser to search.xrenoder.com. It also displays pornographic ads.

Xrenoder modifies hosts files to redirect searches to search.xrenoder.com. It also changes your homepage.

Xrenoder exists in the form of two variants.

  • ISTbar/AUpdate installs a TinyBar variant to implement its toolbar. The hijacker is aimed at my-internet.info and blazefind.com; distribution is managed by searchbarcash.com, its controlling server.
  • ISTbar/XXXToolbar is an update based around porn. It uses its own toolbar code. The hijacker is aimed at its controlling server xxxtoolbar.com, and slotch.com; distribution is controlled by toolbarcash.com.


Furthermore, it installs other pests into your computer. Both variants install porn pop-up producer RapidBlaster/lp.

The AUpdate variant is also known to install DownloadPlus and is known as SearchBarCash-Hijacker. The XXXToolbar variant opens pop-ups as directed by its controlling server. In AUpdate, the TinyBar component could be used to open pop-ups in the future.

It is supposed to be installed by ActiveX drive-by download on affiliate sites, typically porn advertisements, from April 2003. At least ISTbar/AUpdate is known to install using aggressive JavaScript (opening an error and retrying if you refuse the ActiveX download).
