    Adware.CrushSearch may also contact the search site www.secret-crush.com, for advertisement-tracking purposes. Whenever the search setting of the web page or default home page has been changed that means the system has been infected by Adware.CrushSearch. So you can easily detected the file as Adware.CrushSearch. You can also installed some anti product like Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Spybot - Search & Destroy. So if you want to protect you system from that type of spyware then up to date your anti virus definition as well as use latest type anti spyware in the system which can prevent the new version of the malware,
