Totopweb.com Virus - How to remove

Totopweb.com is a browser hijacker. What does that mean? Well, you should know this perfectly well as it is very likely that your homepage has been replaced and it is difficult for you to set your previous start page. In fact, the situation is, most probably, that you virtually cannot not do it. At every end of your browsing session, you think you have succeeded in restoring your previous browser settings, but at every start of your web surfing you are faced with the fact that, actually, all your work has been worthless. So this is the hijacking performed by Totopweb.com application. In addition to this, there are other features of the latter program, which can be considered as malicious and for which the latter app had better be removed from one’s PC.

The Malicious Features of Totopweb.com Browser Hijacker

So you have been introduced with the basics of the operating manner of Totopweb.com extension. But there are plenty of things you need to know more. First, even though Totopweb.com add-on seems as a web search tool, it does not have the qualities for which it can be called one. We are talking about the very search rendering feature, which Totopweb plug-in lacks. Lacking this basic trait of any search engine, the latter tool can hardly be given the name of a web search provider. This tool is designed to exploit the search functionality of Google to render the user the search results. The thing is that some of the websites displayed by Google are replaced with the sponsored web pages by Totopweb.com. These domains are practically advertising ones, and not the ordinary ones but rather the scam ones.

Furthermore, the original sites of Google Search are compromised by the scam advertisements they are injected in. You can separate them from the normal ones by the products they offer and the promises they make. Typically, both: the goods or services and the promises, which follow them, are quite out of the ordinary to say the least. Moreover, besides the javascript employed to display ads, Totopweb.com hijacker invokes cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies to monitor your online behavior so that your profile would be drawn. This profile is needed for third parties, which create the advertising content and strive for it to correspond to your interests, likes, etc. As a consequence, you get scammed. As concerns the developers of Totopweb.com module, their displayed content receive more clicks. And the more clicks it receives, the more money they make.

Totopweb.com browser hijacker gets on the computer’s system via bundled downloads, spam e-mail attachments, questionable domains, as well as advertisements. Thus, users must unbundle their free downloads in the Advanced, Custom, Manual settings – the ones which allow the user to customize the installation wizard. The spam folder of one’s inbox needs to be deleted regularly without peeping neither into the letter, which hit the folder, nor into their attachments. And sites, having dangerous levels of viral infection, are not the most safest places on the web to be visited, especially, when they do not contain any valuable content, rather the illegal one.
