Remove Search.top-arama.com from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly Search.top-arama.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Search.top-arama.com is a browser hijacker. If that by itself does not spook you, you need to figure out your priorities. Hijackers have quite the wicked reputation among viruses and infections. They’re notorious for driving you mad with their never-ending disruptions, and also for slowly but surely messing up your system to, ultimately, the point of no return. Does that sound like a program worth keeping? Hardly. Hijackers display the most obnoxious trait of adware. They bury you in pop-up advertisements. Each time you try to browse the web, you have the ‘pleasure’ of seeing one, or a hundred, pop up right in front of your eyes. Yes, the number might be slightly exaggerated, but it’s used to make a point. Know this. There will be entire myriads of advertisements interrupting your browsing every single time for as long the malicious tool remains on your system. And, that’s the least of your worries. Some of the other ‘perks’ include having to endure a slower PC performance and frequent system crashes, as well as be faced with a severe malware threat. And, worst of all, a terrible security risk. Know this, to consciously make the decision to keep the hijacker, is a horrendous mistake with dreadful repercussions. Save yourself an abundance of grievances, headaches, time, and energy, and get rid of the hazardous infection as soon as you become aware of its existence. To accurately remove the threat, make sure you find and delete the malicious tool lurking behind the Search.top-arama.com website. Oh, yes. Your beef isn’t with the page itself as it’s just a front, so to speak. Your actual issue comes from the malware using it as a shield to hide behind, and continuously forcing it upon you. So, immediately after you first spot Search.top-arama.com, locate and delete the tool it’s concealing.

How did I get infected with?

The tool nestled behind Search.top-arama.com didn’t just appear in your system out of the blue. This isn’t magic. It’s not like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. To get into your PC, the tool has to be invited in, and this is where you come along. The hijacker fools you into approving its installation, all the while keeping you oblivious to it. It preys on your distraction, gullibility, and haste and slithers its way in with you holding the doors for it, looking right at it but not seeing it. Confusing, isn’t it? Let’s elaborate. More often than not, the malicious tool dupes you into believing that it’s some update. For example, it convinces you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player. However, that’s far from the truth. In actuality, you’ll be giving the green light of approval to a malevolent and hazardous hijacker. But rest assured. There is a way to avoid that – be more attentive! To prevent such infection from sneaking in undetected and making a mess of things, just try to be more cautious. Don’t give into carelessness and naivety and don’t rush. Remember that even a little extra attention today can save you a myriad of issues and headaches tomorrow.

Why is this dangerous?

Think of Search.top-arama.com’s appearance as a sign of trouble. Its sudden popping up is a clear indication that you’re in danger due to the presence of malware on your computer. That’s right. You were careless enough to permit the installation of a malevolent tool, and you’re just now starting to experience the consequences. First comes the page. Shortly after infiltration, the hijacker replaces your preferred homepage and search engine with Search.top-arama.com. And, every time you try to browse the web, you’ll be redirected to the site, whether you like it or not. But, as was already mentioned, the endless redirects won’t be the only nuisance you’ll be forced to endure. You’ll have to put up with the myriads of pop-up advertisements, the tool will bombard you with, as well. This incessant plaguing of your browsing experience will ultimately slow down your computer’s performance to a crawl, and lead to frequent system crashes. But these unpleasantries pale in comparison to the greater issues the hijacker’s presence causes. You’ll be presented with a severe malware threat. The pop-ups you’ll see are immensely unreliable and bundled with all sorts of malicious tools. And, each time you press a pop-up, you unknowingly agree to install the malware it’s hiding. But, what’s worse, is that the hijacker can install such tools without your input whatsoever. That’s because, once a hijacker slithers into your system, it’s free to implement any and all reshuffles it so wishes. For example, if it feels like it, it can approve the installation of as many malicious tools as it so desires. Add to that the severe security threat you’ll be presented with, courtesy of the hijacker, and it should be pretty clear that it should not be allowed to remain on your PC. Oh, yes. Once the tool lurking behind Search.top-arama.com settles in your system, it starts spying on you. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make online and then sends the gathered data to the third people that published. Do you think anything positive will come from strangers having access to your personal and financial details? Hardly. Protect yourself and your system, and delete the hijacker as soon as it first displays the Search.top-arama.com page. You won’t regret it, and your future self will be quite grateful for it.
