How to Remove TTwifi (Virus Removal)

Can’t Remove TTwifi ads? This page includes detailed ads by TTwifi Removal instructions!

TTwifi is, to put it mildly, undesirable. It will not allow you to create Wi-Fi networks, it will not enhance your online experience and it will certainly not be beneficial for you. Quite the opposite; TTwifi (also known as TianTianWifi), is a parasite. Classified as a nasty adware-type infection and a potentially unwanted program (PUP), this thing is dangerous. Are you willing to keep ANY kind of cyber infection on board? Yes? You must be trying really hard to cause your own computer some serious, enormous, irreversible damage then. Even though adware/PUPs aren’t among the most virulent types of viruses online, that doesn’t make them safe. It makes them tricky. A crucial mistake many PC users make is that people tend to underestimate the major threat adware poses. Therefore, don’t be gullible to think TTwifi can’t cause you harm. It can and, if you allow this, it will. The only reason why TTwifi appears to be legitimate and safe at first glance is so it could deceive you. If this nuisance manages to spend enough time on your PC system, you will deeply regret not deleting it on the spot. What is the solution to that? Delete TTwifi on the spot. This sneaky application gets activated almost immediately after infiltration and starts wreaking havoc. To begin with, the TTwifi virus modifies your browser settings. That means you’ll come across some random, unauthorized changes which only serve hackers’ purposes. Not your own. Due to the parasite’s presence, your browsers are now injected with ads. By ads we mean a never-ending parade of various pop-up ads, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads, etc. This is what adware does. TTwifi is a classic member of the irritating adware family so it follows the classic adware pattern. Why is the parasite so stubborn? Why are you constantly bombarded with commercials? The answer to that question is just about as simple as it is unpleasant. Money. Hackers’ money, to be exact. TTwifi’s developers get paid for every single ad generated by the parasite. That means your PC screen is currently flooded with sponsored, unreliable, potentially harmful pop-ups. Unfortunately, no matter how attractive these ads may seem to be, none of them is actually trustworthy. If you’re seeing a certain web link, you’re only seeing it because hackers want you to. By using the dubious pay-per-click mechanism and some other equally unfair monetizing schemes, crooks successfully make easy revenue directly at your expense. You’re practically helping hackers gain profit just by keeping their parasite on board instead of removing it ASAP. Are you actively trying to sponsor greedy cyber criminals? We assume not. Apart from generating highly questionable pop-up ads, TTwifi also jeopardizes your privacy, slows down your PC speed considerably and disturbs you on a daily basis.

How did I get infected with?

It isn’t a secret that most online infections travel the Web via lies and deceit. Instead of convincing you to install them, these parasites simply install themselves. All that is required from you in order to get your PC infected is to download software off of the Internet. With freeware/shareware bundling being the most popular virus distribution method at the moment, it’s safe to say that’s how TTwifi invaded your device. The infection gets attached to other program and gets installed alongside them. Unless you pay close attention to the entire process, you won’t even realize that there’s a parasite added as a bonus to the bundle. It goes without saying this is a bonus you neither want nor need. Is keeping your computer infection-free your number one priority online? It should be. In order to protect your machine from malware in the future, always take your time in the installation. Don’t rush and keep an eye out for potential intruders. Remember, skipping installation steps is not going to guarantee you safety. Skipping the Terms and Conditions is not going to guarantee you safety either. Our advice for you is to stay away from unverified websites, suspicious-looking bundles, third-party ads and anything else online that you don’t trust.

Why are these ads dangerous?

First of all, the parasite’s pop-ups are everywhere. Adware is famous for being annoying so expect no less from TTwifi. Misleading coupons, deceiving discounts, corrupted web links advertising non-existent products – anything brought by the virus must be ignored. Keep in mind that this program is ad-supported. Its main goal is to generate web traffic towards some particular websites and, ultimately, to help hackers gain revenue. As you can clearly see, saving you time or money while shopping online is the very last thing TTwifi is intending to do. The parasite installs a malicious browser extension which is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. All three browsers are now infected, hence, unreliable. TTwifi’s dangerous browser plugin will keep on spewing out commercials till the very moment your patience runs out and you uninstall the parasite. The sooner, the better.
