Sendori

from Sendori, Inc.

What is Sendori?

Sendori is a web browser plugin and layered service provider filter that is typically installed through a bundled installation. The plugin is designed to intercept Internet web traffic and provided modified results to various requests. Such results include DNS error redirection to sponsored affiliate advertisers. Sendori provides DNS redirection where advertisers can purchase navigation traffic from Sendori's domain name clients. When a user with the installed Senordi software is running types a specific keyword in the web browser's search bar such as a brand, keyword or partial URL, the Sendori software will redirect the search results to the suggested targeted advertiser, which may or may not be the desired results.

The program adds a Layered Service Provider (LSP) in Windows to automatically intercept network traffic and modify it. It uses the Winsock API to insert itself into the TCP/IP protocol stack and can intercept and modify inbound and outbound Internet traffic.

Deleted Sendori easily but reminents of Sendori on my computer still exists like SendoriLogs. Although it is said that not SendoriSvc.exe was the virus but it was SendoriTray.exe was the adware by Avast!.

AdwareSendori•over a year ago

This is definitely adware. I believe it was installed onto my computer via "epicbot" a runescape bot program. Fortunately, it was easily removed and the problems associated with it went away immediately.

DieSendori•over a year ago

People who develop software like this should be sued for the problems they create.

IY•over a year ago

Comes with Daemon Tools (2013-2014 versions) among with OpenCandy and Conduit bloat. DO NOT INSTALL FREE LITE DAEMON TOOLS !

The Fat Man•over a year ago

I removed this and every problem with my computer was solved.

Stan@ (Expert)•over a year ago

It some how managed to download itself to my computer as well. Possibly through Win Amp. I did manage to get rid of it. You can't do it through regedit, or Windows Explorer, and you can't stop it via Windows Task Manager. Even though you can see it in Windows Task Manager, it won't let you end it, so you can't just delete it.

SJones (Expert)•over a year ago

Is this adware? This is in their privacy policy which leads me to believe it is adware. However I'm still not 100% sure how it got installed on my computer...
