Name: ShopNav Category: Browser Hijacker Alias: SRNG Advice: Remove Risk: Elevated Risk Elevated threats are usually threats that fall into the range of adware in which data about a user's habits are tracked and sent back to a server for analysis without your consent or knowledge. Description: Shopnav is a search-hijacker that is installed as a Browser Helper Object that can update itself when you start Windows. ShopNav is bundled with various programs, particularly certain versions of Grokster.
