More specifically, the plaintiff claims that that defendants allegedly misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that Blucora Inc’s main web properties were tied to malware, viruses and browser hijackers that attack computers, that Blucora Inc’s search volumes had been boosted due to a rise in illicit search traffic, that a significant portion of the Company’s traffic was derived from malware, illicit traffic, pirated content and/or click fraud, including, involuntary clicks, artificial clicks and illicit clicks, and that Blucora Inc’s relationship with Google was impaired and Google was unlikely to renew its contract with the Company on the same terms as its prior agreement.
