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

If Toponclick.com pop-up ads keep appearing when you surf the Internet, we can safely assume that your system is jeopardized by adware, also known as “ad-supported” software. It has only one purpose, to make money for its creators. The Toponclick.com website is only available if you have its adware installed on your computer. In case your system is clean, you will see only an error message when you try to reach this website. In the occasion that you can see content on the Toponclicks.com website, then you can be sure that your machine is infected. It is strongly advised to take immediate actions and remove this threat.

Adware programs, such as Toponclick.com, gain profit by the pay-per-click mechanism. Hackers get paid for every ad you see. They get paid even better if you click on those ads. That is why adware developers choose ads that will appeal to you, and they do this by spying on you. Once infected with the Toponclick.com adware, anything you do on your computer is recorded. The malicious program knows you better than you think. It knows which websites you visit, what you search on the Internet, what programs you have installed on your computer. It knows what you like and need, so it shows you very adequate ads.

As handy as those ads may appear, they are not your friends. Hackers don’t care about your well-being. They only care about their profit, thus, they won’t hesitate to expose you to dangerous content or redirect you to malicious websites. Unlike may pay-per-click platforms, this one has no restriction mechanisms. Anyone with money can use it to promote anything, sometimes even dangerous products or unlicensed services. Be extra careful if you have kids. The Toponclick.com website may display content that is not suitable for little children.

Never forget that the Toponclick.com adware is type of a software, a program that is installed on your computer. That means that it can make changes to your system and to the programs installed on it. That includes your Internet browser. Toponclick.com’s ads can appear on websites that were previously ad-free. Actually those platforms are still ad-free, but you see ads because the adware installed on your computer is displaying them to you. Don’t trust anything you see while this tool remains on your computer. Be extra careful and don’t log in to any banking service or social media, for any user name and password may be recorded and send to the people behind that dangerous software.

Once you know your system is compromised with Toponclick.com adware, take immediate actions. The longer it stays, the more dangerous it becomes. This program has your permission to reside on your system. If you get redirected to a malicious site, you may get infected with much more serious threats, including ransomware. Any browser can be affected by this hazardous program. For their popularity, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge are its most common targets. The Toponclick.com adware can even change the shortcuts created by other browsers and infect them too. Locate the adware and delete it ASAP.

The Toponclick.com adware doesn’t appear out of nowhere. You installed it on your machine and you gave it permission to make changes to your computer. Don’t be harsh on yourself. You didn’t know what you were actually installing. Freeware and shareware bundling is the cause for many such cases. Developers hide additional software under a custom/advanced tab. If you rush through the installation process and choose the suggested fast installation, you will end up with tons of extra programs that are not essential for your system. Often they are dangerous rather than helpful.

There are other possible methods hackers often use to distribute adware. Some of these are: spam emails, fake program updates, corrupted links and pages, malicious ads or torrents. Yet, to get on your computer, all those devices need one thing, your permission. Always delete suspicious emails and download software from verified souses. Never rush through the installation process and make sure you install only programs that you actually need.
