The existence of the Tityx.com website is a bad sign. A sign that your computer has been infiltrated by adware. Once the parasite invades, it wastes no time. It infects any browsers available on your PC – Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari. No program is immune. Shortly after the malicious extension establishes itself, it will proceed with turning your browsers into ad-displaying tools. It’s simple. The more advertisements it generates, the better the chance of profit through the pay-per-click scheme.
To ensure that the user will click on the sponsored content, the parasite will go as far as to steal private web data like browsing history, habits and search queries. Thanks to such information, this malicious software can better customize the adverts, so they look more attractive to the users, making them more likely to click. Adware’s effect on your PC doesn’t stop with a large number of ads. Victims of this malware can also experience slow internet speed, lagging, browser crashes, etc. Adware can easily turn your otherwise normal browsing into a hellish experience.
Adware hides in spam emails, email attachments, fake updates, software bundles, torrents, infected links and ads, etc. If you want to keep your computer protected, you have to be cautious and think twice before clicking on anything you see on the internet. Oftentimes, when a user spots an advert that looks too good to be true, it turns out to be fake. Malicious software often uses ads that promote exclusive deals, special offers, or one-time-only discounts, to lure its victims in a trap.
Once you click on the sponsored link, there is no way of knowing where you might get redirected to. You might be led to an infected source that seeks to launch malicious software on your computer or open a backdoor for hackers who want to steal your personal and financial information. Also, we highly recommend installing software only under the Advanced/Custom Setup Wizard. By doing so, you’ll be able to spot any hidden content. Malware is known to hide as additional software, so if you notice any optional installations, it is best if you deselect them.
Adware’s abilities are not to be underestimated. This malicious software can be very damaging to your browser. The most common symptoms of an adware infection include but is not limited to browser crashes, lagging, slow internet speed, slow minimization and maximization of the browser window, shady browser app installations that happened without your knowledge and permission. What’s more, the abnormal amount of ads generated by the parasite will keep interrupting your browsing, even while you’re watching a video online.
No matter what page you visit, you’ll be swarmed with advertisements in different forms like pop-ups, in-text, blinking alert messages, or banners. You’ll gain no positives by keeping this malware on your PC. The more time you allow it to stay, the more trouble it will be able to cause. Adware’s existence puts your online security and privacy in jeopardy. If you want to protect your personal and financial information, as well as a return to a normal and ad-free browsing experience, you need to remove this nasty adware from your computer as soon as possible!
