What is Trotux.com

As mentioned above, Trotux.com is a hijacker. Such programs are named so, because they are literally stealing the user's browser, and doing with it whatever they please. The purpose of these programs is to increase the traffic on the third-grade websites, to distribute useless, "trash" programs and viruses. Trotux.com enters the user's computer, pretending to be a useful program, or simply installed together with any other free software. After installation, Trotux.com builds itself into all browsers, and is begins to change their settings. The most common targets of these changes are the settings, associated with advertising, and security settings. Hijackers also change the home page and default search engine (they are replaced with Trotux.com services). Changing the settings allows Trotux.com to fill the browser with all kinds of advertising information. Exactly at this stage, the user begins to notice that something is wrong: ads appear on each tab, big banners are appearing on the screen, pop-ups and other intrusive forms of advertising are everywhere. The fact is that search engines, browsers and add-ons such as AdBlock and AdBlockPlus are filtering ads, and by default do not show hype, which prevents the use of websites. Such advertisement is marked as spam, and you just do not see it. Trotux.com cancels this function, and to all the multitude of advertising it adds its own links that lead to unsafe, useless, and sometimes overtly malicious websites.

As you can see, Trotux.com by itself do not cause direct damage, it only shows the user links to which he can press. However, when control of the browser belongs to a hijacker, the user does not know which links are provided by the reputable search engine, and which - by malware. Thus, sooner or later, the user will click on a malicious link, and get another virus. The number of viruses on the PC will continue to grow as long as the computer won’t be able to provide the stable work, and just cease to launch. This does not happen immediately, and depends on user’s experience. If you are not interested in dubious offers on the Internet, and do not go to each link provided, then a serious infection that affects the work of the PC, will appear in a few months. If the user is inexperienced, the system may be clogged with viruses within a few days.

However, that's not all! Hijacker collects your personal information such as search queries, lists of visited websites, interests, and so on. At first glance, this information does not seem valuable, but if you think about it, you will understand the essence. If a malicious program will offer you random links - may be, you will pass on them, and maybe not. But if the website offers one of your favorite types of goods, such as tourism products, then you are likely to visit the site and hijacker efforts will be successful. As you can see, Trotux.com - is a fraudulent program that does not take into account the interests of users, and is valid only for its own benefit. If you ignore the presence of this program on your PC, you will soon regret it. We advise you to immediately remove Trotux.com from the computer and from your browser as soon as you discover it.
