How did I get infected with?
Since Terra.im has to get your permission for its installation, it has come up with an entire array of different tricks it can resort to when it comes to getting it. The application uses deception in order to dupe you into giving it the green light, and it’s so sly in its methods that you have no clue you allowed such a harmful threat to enter your system. That’s because Terra.im is sneaky. It usually hides behind freeware as most users don’t pay nearly enough attention as they should when going through its installation. They skip reading the terms and conditions, and just agree to everything in haste. That’s exactly what you should do if you wish to end up with a hijacker such as Terra.im. If you don’t, be more attentive and you might avoid it. The application can also hitch a ride in with spam email attachments, corrupted links, and corrupted websites or pose as a program or system update.
Why is this dangerous?
Aside from being able to install more malware on your computer, Terra.im can also change your registry settings and prevent you from visiting your favorite website. Also, the program displays one of the most infuriating characteristics of computer viruses – it floods you with pop-up ads incessantly. Every single time you attempt to use your browser you will be interrupted by a pop-up ad. These ads are thrown your way for a reason. Their primary objective is to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click profits for the third parties behind the application. Not only are the ads extremely annoying, but because they pop up constantly, they end up slowing your computer’s performance to a crawl and causing frequent system crashes. However, the pop-ups will be the least of your concerns. Terra.im is programmed to act as a spy and steal your private details. It’s designed to start keeping track of your browsing activities as soon as it infiltrates your PC. The application catalogs your every move and once it feels it has collected enough data on you, proceeds to send it to the unknown wicked people behind it. Don’t grant them access to your personal and financial information! Do what’s best for you and your computer, and get rid of Terra.im at once.
