The EULA points to tommytechil.com which is unreachable. So, it appears that the original installer files were “patched” to add the installer for our browser hijacker. It stands to reason that these installers are offered for download somewhere by the threat actors.

Multiple passwords , reading through EULAs, website cookie notifications, and more. And just when you think you’ve caught up, something new's been invented.
