Torrenthunt.net virus - How to remove

Torrenthunt.net virus is promoted as an easy and quick search for movies, music, books. We believe that its creators are from Visicom Media Inc. because this torrent-based engine is hosted on the same server as Newtab.club. Furthermore, as soon as you install Torrenthunt.net Chrome extension, you will be offered to activate the NewTab.club tool as well. However, none of these tools are secure and respectable enough to be treated as your browsers’ preferences. Furthermore, the entire purpose of Torrenthunt.net is to illegally download software, movies and other sorts of material. This can be dangerous activity and you should be aware of its possible consequences (Torrenting: Know What Risks You Take).

Torrenthunt.net malware should not be trusted

After executing several search queries, we noticed that more than a few unknown links were injected at the top. Some of them were in the Chinese or Russian languages, meaning that these countries might be the most targeted. However, biggest streams of web traffic come from Brazil. In this country, it is in the 398,115 position. Torrenthunt.net virus is also associated with browser hijackers like Mystart.com and Adultfilter.net as they all appear to be generated by the company of Visicom.

The Torrenthunt.net rogue extension has been noticed to install a number of randomly-called files and DLLs. The infection has been around since July of 2016 but is popularity is not as big as its creators would like it to be. The latter browser hijacker (What is a hijacker?) is not the same as other members of the same group of rogue search engines. It might not hijack browsers’ preferences, but the icon of the Torrenthunt.net extension will be features next to the three dot menu. When you click on it, you will be able to type in their query. Nevertheless, there might be exceptions when browsers’ preferences are also modified.

For instance, know that the rogue search engine might also be installed together with Tsearch rogue extension. It could be designed to hijack home pages and new tabs. Currently, Torrenthunt.net extension is available in Google Chrome Web Store and it is offered by “ok.changer.developer”. We do not think that using a search engine, developed by unknown third-parties, is a wise choice. It can be that your browsing will be constantly interrupted by online advertisements, while secretly, the add-on is stalking your every move online (Many Browser Extensions Have Become Adware or Malware).

Also, Torrenthunt.net virus does not feature an EULA and a Privacy Policy. Always check these documents of services/programs you consider of exploiting. The fact that some applications might not feature Terms of Use can be interpreted as a way of avoiding full disclosure. Potential clients should be discouraged from becoming involved with such third-parties.

How can malware infections be avoided?

Your computer should not have too many programs because it could influence the way it functions. For instance, a huge number of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) could lead your device to function slower, suffer from freezes and crashes. If you have malware installed, then you might have to sit through tons of online advertisements or be exposed to objectionable material. If these features do not sound pleasant, you should take care of your computer and make sure that no redundant programs would be installed.

To manually remove an unwanted browser hijacker and its extension, follow the guidelines we have prepared at the end of this article. If you are having trouble following the step-by-step guide, we can also offer you an alternative. Scan your operating system with Spyhunter as it will reveal all of the issues that might be bothering your operating system.

In the future, please install applications from respectable developers and always try to refuse any additional programs that can be offered during a Setup Wizard. Furthermore, read Terms of Use and Privacy Policies to make sure that no sneaky business would occur after the selected tool is fully prepared.
