Triangles-move.com virus - How to remove

Triangles-move.com virus is as annoying as any other browser hijacker parasite. It is related with Equaltab.biz variant because both of them have been created by the same group of developers. Objective of these malicious toolbars is to modify browsers’ preferences and eventually become extremely difficult to remove. Most users do not recall agreeing upon such changes. Therefore, their operating systems had to become infected through bundles, malvertising, redirection or other sneaky tactics (How is malware distributed?).

Triangles-move.com malware parasite presents deceptive sponsored content in results to search queries

Owners of Triangles-move.com infection are from a company called Extinns LP. They have created a bunch of browser hijackers, all consisting of impressive graphical features. These aspects are the main hook to attract people. However, beautiful shifting background (as in the variant called Icoshaderon.com) should not be enough to convince you to use/visit a specific page.

Security specialists indicate that using third-party search engine increases the chance of becoming infected with additional malware parasites. This refers to the fact that your operating system will have to battle adware, Trojan, or even ransomware infections. Triangles-move.com virus is mostly considered malicious due to its feature of ad-serving. Many third-parties that the search engine is associated with might be interested in transmitting malicious software.

However, the Triangles-move.com browser hijacker itself can collect valuable information about its clients (Whos Spying on Your Computer?). During installation, it requires learning users’ email addresses, but this extension is not related with email management or etc. The gathered data might be shared with the formerly mentioned third-parties. As a result, users will notice so-called tailor-suited advertisements. This means that the served promotional content will be selected for you based on your geographic location, browser history, bookmarks and reactions to the already displayed ads.

You should be aware of the technique called Drive-by installation. This concept, together with the term “malvertising”, is extremely related in cases of browser hijackers. We have already established that due to Triangles-move.com virus, your browser will feature many online ads. While we mentioned that they can transmit malware, you probably have no idea how easy it is. In some cases, users do not even have to click on the ad: innovative techniques allow certain ads to infect people without active participation from the viewer.

However, most of the regular online advertisements usually have to be clicked on to infect you. In addition to this, ads can require users to enter their personally-identifiable information or seemingly random details. For instance, a pop-up might require you to answer a few questions and win a new iPhone. While this offer sounds tempting, you should remember that by clicking such buttons like “next” during the survey, you could be unknowingly allowing a hacker to hack you.

Browser hijackers like Triangles-move.com virus can be bundled with freeware programs

You might have heard the word “bundling”. It refers to the fact that many freeware applications consists of additional programs that you have no idea before installation. During the Setup Wizard, you might be introduced with recommendations to install additional toolbars, optimizers, converters, players or other seemingly helpful software. However, this trick is usually used to distribute poor-quality programs, malware or potentially unwanted applications. If you do not want to compromise your computer with unknown parasites, we hope that you will refuse to install any additional content. In fact, if a freeware tool has many additional programs, you should re-consider its installation as well.
