Tuvaro Search is an extremely annoying adware, which poses a serious threat to personal data and security. Tuvaro is classified a Trojan, a browser hijacker, and a redirect virus by experts. It has various malicious traits which make it a PUA, or Potentially unwanted application.Tuvaro is distributed through 3^rd party freeware bundles that are infected with the malware.

Hence choosing the custom or advanced settings can reduce changes of any malware or additional program being installed in the system. During the custom installation, users can choose not to install programs that they do not want, and deny any changes in the browsers or system.

Tuvaro also adds itself to Google and Facebook accounts where it posts on behalf of its users. Tuvaro will also constantly redirect you to various advertiser sponsored websites.
