I wrote this article to help you remove TigerTrade Virus. This TigerTrade Virus removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

If you’ve started to encounter ads marked with a text like “Ads by TigerTrade”, you are in trouble. IT researchers categorize TigerTrade ads as adware. It is a malicious parasite that generates ads, according to your web history and searches. How is that possible? Well, adware can obtain personal information with ease.

Private data such as browsing history or habits, as well as search queries are very helpful in the adware’s goal to create the kind of advertisements that the user is most likely to click on. Such ads and pop-ups are very beneficial to both the hacker behind the adware in question and to the promoted pages. By clicking on shady ads that seemingly promote exclusive deals, special offers, fake update requests, questionable blinking alerts, etc., the user can get redirected to potentially dangerous third-party websites.

Adware can is often spread via spam email messages, email attachments and executable files, software bundles, fake update messages, shady links and ads, etc. If you notice that your inbox contains emails from unfamiliar senders, especially if they are marked as spam – do not open them! More often than not, such emails are infected and patiently wait for you to click on them in order to spread the infection on your computer.

The same thing applies if the emails in question contain attachments and executable files. Also, it is strongly advised to opt for an Advanced/Custom installation, whenever you are trying to install software that you downloaded from the internet. You never know what additional programs or application might be hiding behind a seemingly trustworthy software package.

If it’s any consolation, adware is not considered to be a real virus. That’s because it only infects your browser, not your computer system. Don’t get too relaxed, though. This malicious software is anything but harmless. If you click on any of the generated ads or pop-ups, you might get rerouted to possibly infected sources or suspicious third-party websites that seek to open backdoors for hackers. That way, it will be easy for cyber criminals to launch viruses on your computer, as well as steal valuable information that they can later on share with other people for profit.

If you want to have a normal browsing experience and regain your online security, we recommend that you follow our detailed instructions below, in order to learn how to remove this TigerTrade adware from your computer.
