Can’t Remove TelevisionAce? This page includes detailed TelevisionAce Removal instructions!
We all need a little assistance in our daily web browsing. A toolbar is the best solution for many of us. Yet, there are malicious extensions which are more of an obstacle than of a real aid. One such trickster is the TelevisionAce Toolbar. This utility is classified as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and a Browser Hijacker. Upon infiltration, this app infects all installed browsers. It adds its malicious extension and modifies their settings. The TelevisionAce toolbar changes both your homepage and default search engine. From this point onward, every ad banner, in-text advert and video commercial you are exposed to is provided by the hijacker. This tool blocks its competitors’ content and replaces it with its own. Thus, it limits your sources of information. Basically, for every ad you click on, the owners of the hijacker will be paid. And so, their creation will flood you with commercials. The TelevisionAce toolbar injects extra ad banners, in-text adverts and hyperlinks on every web page you visit. It can also pause your online videos for commercial breaks and, of course, redirect your browser to sponsored pages. Every time you try to follow a link, additional tabs will open in your browser. You will hate the experience. If you don’t take immediate measures, the hijacker will get even more aggressive. This furtive utility knows no boundaries. It will not stop its marketing campaign. Ad-blocking tools are useless against it. You will notice that your device underperforms. This is due to the hijacker running its malicious processes in the background. This tool will cause your browser to freeze and crash frequently. Some older machines may also experience system crashes. And this leads to data loss and a lot of frustration. Don’t hesitate to remove the TelevisionAce toolbar. You have nothing to lose. Yet, the rewards will be tenfold!
How did I get infected with TelevisionAce?
The TelevisionAce toolbar used to have an official download. Yet, once the complaints started, this tool was removed from the official app stores. Some questionable websites still promote this application, though. There are also users that don’t have the slightest idea how did this program end up on their computers. This is to be expected, of course. The TelevisionAce toolbar uses stealth installation and tricks to get on your PC. We are talking about software bundling, torrents, and spam emails. Freeware/shareware and pirated copies of licensed software often become hosts of such parasites. To prevent programs like the TelevisionAce toolbar from installing, always opt for the Advanced installation option in the Setup Wizard. It can be a button or tab. Under the Advanced setup, you will be presented with a list of all extra programs that are about to be installed. Examine these extras. They may as well be malicious. Take your time to read the Terms and Conditions/EULA. If you spot anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation immediately. The Standard/Fast installation, on the other hand, is a completely automated process. Once you start it, you lose control over it. The setup wizard will install all programs that have arrived in the bundle. Your explicit approval will not be needed. Hence, you won’t be asked. The Internet is bursting with parasites. Only your caution can keep your PC clean!
Why is TelevisionAce dangerous?
The TelevisionAce toolbar can ruin your browsing experience in seconds. It opens pop-ups, redirects your browser and slows your PC down. It is a giant obstacle that prevents you from using your device normally. Unfortunately, this tool is more than a simple annoyance. It is a giant hole in your security wall. Viruses and other malware may use the hijacker as a backdoor to your computer. The TelevisionAce hijacker does not verify what is being promoted via its services. Hackers and people with questionable interests take advantage of such applications. One click on a corrupted ad is all it takes for a virus to be downloaded. There, of course, is no way to tell which commercials are corrupted and which are not. Avoiding the commercials is not an option either. With the TelevisionAce hijacker on board, you cannot even tell what is a commercial. This furtive app injects fake entries among the search results you are provided with. It doesn’t matter which search provider you are using, the hijacker can modify the results. This utility is installed on your PC. It can control your browser and what is displayed on your screen. Dodgy websites pay hefty sums for their links to be displayed at the top of the search results. These sponsored entries are not marked as such. You cannot distinguish them. An unverified link may redirect you to infected or scam websites. There are many potential risks. Keeping the TelevisionAce toolbar on board is not worth it. Track this intruder down and delete it on the spot!
