I wrote this article to help you remove TrendsTab Virus. This TrendsTab Virus removal guide works for all Windows versions.
If you suddenly see a full-screen pop-up by TrendsTab being displayed right in the middle of your browsing session, it is absolutely certain that a malicious application has infected your virtual machine.
The potentially unwanted program (PUP) will constantly disturb your browsing activity by providing you with tones of commercial advertisements every time you want to use your web browser. In addition, the numerous pop-ups will slow down your computer performance, cause frequent system crashes and even threaten your personal security. Thus, these advertisements should be erased immediately, together with the unwanted program which generates them.
As it is certain that a malicious application is responsible for TrendsTab, you must be very careful when installing new software on your PC. Besides, you should not click the random adverts that you see on the web or open any attachments to spam emails from unknown senders. If you perform any of these actions, this could be the reason for getting a dangerous infection on your computer.
Keep in mind that TrendsTab ads might not be the only advertisements that you might see on your monitor, because there are plenty of similar advertising platforms. Due to this fact, the PUP on your virtual machine may connect to any of them and provide you with multiple adverts from different domains.
As already mentioned above, if you face TrendsTab on your monitor, it is the PUP causing them to appear. Once installed on your PC, the malicious app will make your computer’s performance significantly slower and cause multiple system crashes. Though, there is something else you don’t know, and it is even more disturbing than the commercial advertisements themselves. It is the ability of TrendsTab to track your virtual activity.
By monitoring your web sessions, the PUP program will record some information related to your browser settings, browsing history, search queries, passwords, account settings, etc. However, this process will certainly pose a risk to your privacy and can result in data or money loss.
Another problem which you might experience is often caused by the pop-ups presented alongside any download links or buttons. If you open the displayed links, you will enable unknown third parties to infect your system with malware, which is distributed by the malicious websites you will be transferred to. In order to prevent this from happening, you should locate and delete the dangerous application as soon as possible. In another case, your personal security is very likely to be seriously threatened.
Fortunately, the removal of TrendsTab is not a hard process. You can delete the PUP along with all the displayed advertisements either manually, or automatically. The manual removal instructions are provided below this article. Though, even if you have completed the manual removal process, you still have to run a full scan of your PC in order to identify any registry leftovers or temporary files. You can do this by installing a reputable antimalware tool which will find and erase all the existing threats at once and will protect your system against malware at all times.
