AllMyWeb search page looks like Google Search that provides search on Web, Images, Videos and Shopping and it claims it is powered by Yahoo.

When you go to facebook or Youtube, it lags and keeps loading. Browser hijackers often come bundled to freeware and shareware, like music players, PDF creators and so on. Since some computer users go through the installation steps very quickly, just hitting on the “Next” button, they may miss the options indicating about replacing their homepage or adding another program. This is why the unwanted AllMyWeb Search can be added. It can completely mess up your browser by performing the following actions:
Home page is replaced and favorite search engines are disabled.
Unknown toolbars or extensions are automatically installed.
Annoying pop-up ads are everywhere on the webs.
Users are constantly redirected to unwanted results.
