Remove Teoma

Browser hijackers like Teoma modify your default homepage and default search engine in every browser installed in your computer (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Edge…).

Hijacking browsers is a technique used to increase advertising revenues and to manipulate results location of certain websites. Teoma is quite stubborn and usually impossible to remove without the proper tools.

Teoma infiltrates your computer through bundles of software. Therefore if it is installed this also means that many other infections could also be present in your computer. These bundles are available in P2P networks, or in popular download platforms that endorse this kind of install technique.

Even though Teoma presents itself as an useful search engine that will help you find anything you need quickly, the harsh truth is that all it does is to present links from its partners. Partners that, we must remember, could end up being a lot more dangerous than what users tend to believe possible. Teoma makes it clear that they have no responsibility over the content or the links shown in their result page. This is a clear sign that you could end up being guided towards an illegal website. These websites represent a serious threat for your security because it’s possible to be infected with some malicious software just by visiting some of these sites. Cyber-criminals could also try to manipulate you browsing so you end up in websites that can steal your personal data. As you can see, not removing Teoma can expose you to all sorts of threats.
