Remove Search.timkiemvn.com Homepage

Suddenly Search.timkiemvn.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Do you know what Search.timkiemvn.com is? Let’s first take a look at what this program is not. It is not reliable, it is not safe and it definitely is not something you would want to have on board. Long story short, Search.timkiemvn.com is a virus. Could you possibly keep on surfing the Web at peace knowing that your computer is compromised? Not many people would ignore such a threat. It’s crystal clear that keeping any infection of any kind on your system is a terrible, terrible mistake. Hijackers in general don’t appear to be particularly harmful. However, you should know better than to underestimate such a tricky parasite. The situation you’re in right now is quite unpleasant, to put it mildly. Then why hesitate? Keep in mind that the Search.timkiemvn.com virus only becomes more and more dangerous as time passes. Its aggressive manipulations begin immediately after installation. As you could imagine, the installation itself usually happens without your permission. Search.timkiemvn.com takes over your browsers first. Well, it doesn’t really come as shocking news that a hijacker hijackers browsers, right? This is how Search.timkiemvn.com works. The virus modifies your browser settings (again, behind your back) and you will notice various unauthorized changes. Take your default search engine and default browser homepage, for example. Due to the parasite’s presence, they are now replaced with Search.timkiemvn.com’s malicious domain. That means you’re now forced to use its search engine. It’s utterly irrelevant what your opinion on these modifications is; Search.timkiemvn.com was never meant to be beneficial for you anyway. If anything, it was only meant to serve hackers’ highly questionable purposes. You could be absolutely positive that crooks’ plans for your machine have nothing to do with your safety. They have a lot to do with money, though. Did you know that Search.timkiemvn.com generates sponsored web links? Even though the parasite presents its links as harmless and even useful search results, make no mistake. The only reason why Search.timkiemvn.com generates its excessive amount of web links is to help hackers gain profit. Are you willing to become a sponsor of cyber criminals? Well, that is exactly what you become by keeping the virus on board. Furthermore, are you willing to infect your PC with more parasites? If not, restrain yourself from clicking ANYTHING brought to you by Search.timkiemvn.com. That includes misleading search results, third-party pop-up ads, even software updates. The question is, are you going to neglect your own safety or are you going to uninstall this nuisance?

How did I get infected with?

One notoriously efficient technique is called freeware/shareware bundling. It’s even more effective than it’s simple which explains why hackers seem to be loving this method. All you have to do in order to compromise your PC is download a bunch of programs off of the Internet without paying much attention to the process. Voila. This time you installed an irritating browser hijacker but some much more virulent types of parasites also apply the stealthy bundling technique. Before you know it, you might download Trojans, ransomware-type programs, etc. To prevent such a nasty scenario, always be cautious online. If you come across some suspicious-looking program in the bundle, don’t hesitate to deselect it. However, to be able to spot the intruder, you have to choose the Custom/Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. Most people tend to rush the installation thus exposing their machines to malware. Do the exact opposite. Take your time in the process and make sure you’re perfectly aware what enters your device and what gets deselected. Also, it’s strongly recommended to check out the Terms and Conditions or EULA (End User License Agreement) beforehand. The Web is infested with parasites. It’s entirely up to you whether you will keep the machine infection-free or hackers will manage to cause you harm.

Why is this dangerous?

As we mentioned, Search.timkiemvn.com’s manipulations are very unpleasant. This program completely takes control over your Internet experience and exposes you directly to malware. Once it lands on board, the hijacker adds a browser extension which works just fine with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. That is correct, all your browsers are now infected. They begin to constantly display sponsored, unreliable web links and it goes without saying that you will be constantly redirected as well. As if that wasn’t enough, Search.timkiemvn.com also spies on your browsing-related activities. Hackers now have free access to your passwords and usernames and browsing history and, in the worst case scenario, to your personally identifiable data. There’s no parallel universe in which crooks wouldn’t sell your private information for marketing purposes.
