Triple-Search.com virus - How to remove

Triple-Search.com virus is a browser hijacker that affects Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. The program can be installed together with a bunch of freeware and although users can detect it while adding those programs, many of them simply allow this hijacker to enter their systems without even knowing it. This happens if you skip installation steps without even looking what they say. Usually you have to deselect options to install various bundles, including Triple-Search.com virus because the latter are checked for you beforehand.

Once inside, the program makes some changes in your browser settings. It replaces your homepage and default search provider with Triple-Search.com. This website looks like a normal search page, however, it is not considered to be a reliable search provider. The tool includes many sponsored links to your search results. It actually promotes a few commercial websites and increases their traffic as well as page ranking in search results.

Although Triple-Search.com virus does not cause any harm to your system, it complicates your work on the Internet. First of all, it is not fair to make changes in your browser settings like this. Second, it interrupts your browsing by promoting commercial pages and does not allow you to get the best out of your search results. You should be more careful with the downloads from the Internet, for example, PDF creators, music players, video recorders and so on. Never agree to alter your homepage or search provider to unknown websites or to make any other changes that could hinder into your browsing in future.

To remove Triple-Search.com virus, you have to go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs list and uninstall it from there.
