Teeion.com virus - How to remove

By Giedrius Majauskas

Teeion.com, called Atimkiem Search, is a meta-search platform. It is constructed as a search tool with the power to simultaneously generate results to search queries from multiple search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Wikipedia). Even though getting access to results from multiple networks for searching might be a convenient feature, Teeion.com is not a platform to consider as your preference. According to the creators of this tool, it offers a directory based on data from The Open Directory Project and Product Search powered by PriceGrabber. PriceGrabber is an online-shopping website that offers a multitude of different products. However, back in 2011, people were getting redirected to this shopping site during their browsing with Firefox, Chrome and IE Explorer. Teeion.com does not operate with a separate database of websites: it uses websites from other search engines to produce results to search queries. Despite the fact that the creators of Teeion.com virus try to make it appear quite trustworthy, security researchers have identified it as a browser hijacker.

More information about Teeion.com virus

Teeion.com virus is classified as a browser hijacker, capable of setting its questionable searching tool as home pages, default search providers and new tab pages. These selections are known as “browsers’ preferences” and users usually personalize them according to their favorite websites. When Teeion.com is noticed in these positions, people do not make this selection themselves. This searching platform is associated with a browser hijacker that managed to modify your browsers’ settings.

Once Teeion.com virus gets an opportunity to be featured in your browsing as a preference, you will suffer from its existence every time infected browsers are launched. Presumably, the latter malware is compatible with all of the popular applications like Chrome, Mozilla, Internet Explorer and Opera. During the time you take to visit certain websites, their content might be replaced with the interface of Teeion.com virus. Redirection to other websites that this browser hijacker is co-operating with would not surprise us as well.

The creators of Teeion.com would not design products if they would not receive a revenue of some sort. The search tool can agree to incorporate promotional content into its services. That means that your browsing can be interrupted by annoying online ads, covering your visited websites. Every click on the presented material is valued as it can be converted into revenue that Teeion.com virus seeks.

However, while Teeion.com virus might profit from its services, the users will be paying a dirty price for its success. In the “Terms of Use and Disclaimer” of Teeion.com, we noticed that the website explains to include references, hyperlinks to third-party sites/files. Sadly, the content and reliability of the distributed content is not verified by the search engine.

In the document, certain Privacy conditions should also be discussed, but the creators indicate to look for more information in the “Privacy Policy”. Nevertheless, after attempting to access this section, we noticed that it does not exist. For this reason, the way Teeion.com virus deals with visitors’ personally and non-personally identifiable information is unknown.

How did I catch the Teeion.com virus?

Teeion.com virus can be installed into your system without your knowledge. Do you recall getting free software from questionable sources?
