How did I get infected with?

TopicTorch resorts to the usual antics to gain access to your system. The tool’s willing to use every trick in the book so it can sneak in undetected. The application is a master in the arts of deceit, so it not only dupes you into allowing it in, but also keeps you oblivious that you did.

More often than not, the tool invades your computer with the help of the old but gold methods of infiltration. That includes hiding behind freeware, corrupted links or websites, or spam email attachments. It can also pretend to be a bogus system or program update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. Do you see the pattern here? TopicTorch prays on your naivety, haste, and distraction. Maybe if you don’t provide them, you’ll avoid getting stuck with it.

Why are these ads dangerous?

TopicTorch is an ad-supported application, which is why it floods you with so many pop-ups. The program’s entire existence rests on its ability to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties behind it. How does it fulfill its objective? Well, with the help of the never-ending waterfall of ads, of course. Each pop-up it fools you into clicking on produces profits and helps it proceed with its operations. But whatever you do, do NOT click on them! Do your best to ignore them, and avoid clicking on even a single one of them! As was already mentioned, they’re immensely unreliable. If you’re foolish enough to click on a pop-up, by accident or choice, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware. But even the threat of unwillingly agreeing to install more malevolent tools won’t be your biggest concern, courtesy of the application. TopicTorch places a grave security risk upon you as it spies on you. As soon as it invades your system, it starts keeping track of your browsing activities and catalogs every move you make. When it determines it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the unknown individuals that published it. Do you think anything positive will come from strangers having access to your personal and financial information? Don’t take such a colossal gamble! Delete TopicTorch as soon as you possibly can! You’ll save yourself a ton of headaches and troubles, and your future self will thank you for it.
