Here we will be talking about one program called Titiaredh Virus, which is the most probable source of the above-mentioned modifications.

What is Titiaredh?

Titiaredh Virus is technically not a virus or a harmful program (like a Trojan, Ransomware or some other type of malware), but sometimes, it may eventually cause some serious interruptions and disturbance in your normal web browsing, therefore we can classify it as a browser hijacker. This disturbance is typically related to the changes that this program may impose in your default browser. In most of the cases, some replacements in your default search engine or your homepage may take place without your approval, and you may find yourself struggling to browse the web because every time you open your browser. You may also get redirected to different ads, banners, pop-ups, blinking notifications, new tabs or aggressive commercial pages.

The basic idea for the existence of browser hijackers like Titiaredh Virus is to make profits from Pay-Per-Click campaigns. For that, these programs tend to mess with the users’ browser, redirect the users’ searches and collect some marketing data, related to their regular web activity, frequent web searches, social media activities, location, interests and so on. This way, these programs can display targeted advertisements of different commercial pages, sales offers, sponsored sites, services and products and make the users click on them. In most of the cases, each click is worth a small amount of money and this money goes in the pockets of the browser hijacker developers, who earn profits from the so-called Pay-Per-Click campaigns. A lot of users, though, find the browser hijackers and their activities very annoying and often prefer to have them removed instead of being constantly disturbed by some unfamiliar toolbars, aggressively popping ads, and sudden page redirects.

How may you end up with a browser hijacker on your machine?

Most people don’t know exactly how they ended up with a browser hijacker like Titiaredh Virus on their computer. The reason is that the developers, who create such software, usually distribute it in a bundle with some other main programs (mostly free or discounted ones). They do that with the idea to popularize the free software and earn some revenue from the clicks on the ads that the browser hijacker can display. What usually happens is, the users are mostly interested in the main application only, but they often tend to overlook the additionally bundled software when they download and install the bundle because they simply follow the “recommended” installation instructions and skip checking for some other potentially unwanted programs, which may come along with the installer. This is how they usually end up with browser hijackers, bloatware, various unwanted pieces of software and even sometimes viruses and malware like Trojans and Ransomware. Avoiding such “surprises” is really easy and you can always do that if you click on the “custom/advanced” option when installing new software, because this is where you can manually disable any program that you don’t want to become part of your system. Some other common sources of Titiaredh Virus, apart from bundles, could be also spam emails, torrents, intrusive ads and links, direct downloads from the web, automatic installation managers or platforms where software is distributed for free.

The safe ways to remove Titiaredh Virus from your system…

The developers of browser hijackers earn from each and every of your clicks when the program is in your system, that’s why they want it to stay there for as long as possible. What is more, they usually don’t give the users an easy option to uninstall the software and remove its traces and normally integrate it deep inside the system, where it is a bit trickier to detect and eliminate it.
