Traveldealscenter.co Search Hijacker - How to remove

If your browser’s home page has been changed to traveldealscenter.co and if your searches are being redirected to Yahoo rather than whatever search engine you were using before, your browser has an add-on installed. The extension can cause problems with productivity and privacy, so if you find that traveldealscenter.co is set as your home page, you might want to remove it.

The browser is a very important piece of software that’s responsible for displaying webpages and for allowing us to communicate with various websites. So, each browser add-on an extension should be installed very carefully. Irresponsibly giving any applications access to your browser could put your private data and your browsing experience in danger. So, can you use traveldealscenter.co with no worries?

Is traveldealscenter.co safe to use?

Travel Deals Center extension is made by HyperConnect media, a company that works in marketing, helping their clients reach customers through advertising, get traffic for websites, and optimize their websites for appearing more easily in search engines.

The company has developed a few extensions that can be considered browser hijackers: Searchsecureprime.co, Dailyfileconverter.co, Dailymailtab.com. The reason why traveldealscenter.co is called a browser hijacker isn’t necessarily because it’s malicious — these extensions are not as bad as some hijackers out there. Rather, it’s to signal to users that they should know what this add-on is before they decide to use it. traveldealscenter.co makes some unwanted changes to your browser settings that have nothing to do with its functionality.

For example, traveldealscenter.co sets a particular search engine rather than use the one that you were using previously. It forces people to use the Yahoo search site. Even if you like Yahoo, the search through traveldealscenter.co seems to display more promoted content than on plain Yahoo. Considering just how much promoted content is displayed — in some cases, more than actual results — searching for relevant content through traveldealscenter.co is going to be more time consuming than normal.

If you use traveldealscenter.co for search, your data is being collected. Even if you don’t provide any information yourself, your IP address, your precise location, your computer’s hardware and software, and the types of queries that you searched for when using traveldealscenter.co.

Travel Deals Center is promoted as a free travel deals app. Whatever functionality you were expecting with that description, you’re bound to be disappointed. Rather than find and display relevant travel deals, traveldealscenter.co simply pins a few quick links to top holiday deal websites at the top of the new home page. A few links at the top of the home page make it hard to even justify the existence of traveldealscenter.co to the users. It is hardly useful — you can save links for quick access yourself. So, why do so many people have this extension installed?

How was traveldealscenter.co installed?

Traveldealscenter.co is associated with advertising networks like Adventure Feeds, PopAds, PopCash — networks which generally show ads a bit more aggressive than average. traveldealscenter.co is promoted by ads displayed on various websites, ranging from redirect viruses like hetontbetca.info and malware-hosting sites like vvallor.club, to adult sites, “free” streaming sites, and random blogs. It’s difficult to advise on how the ads could be avoided completely because they can show up nearly anywhere. One piece of advise is to think carefully before clicking on an ad. Ads are always a little risky, with malware being distributed through infected ones.

Hijackers are also very often distributed in free software bundles. A lot of PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) are. A careless installation of a bundler will result in a few unexpected programs being installed without your knowledge or consent. Also, be careful when downloading programs on free software sites — too many ads disguise themselves as download buttons to trick you to click on them and install something you didn’t want.

How to remove traveldealscenter.co

The removal of traveldealscenter.co can be done manually, by just removing Travel Deals Center from your browser. The extension has been developed for a   few different browsers and the removal directions are slightly different for each of them. They’re described in the below guide.

Take the opportunity to check the other installed extensions and remove the ones that are suspicious or unnecessary.

It’s advisable that you scan your device with an antivirus program (Spyhunter) just to make sure that no more PUPs are installed there. Malware and PUPs generally are distributed in groups and promote more PUPs, so having one installed makes it very difficult to avoid any new ones. To avoid problems in the long term it would be good to have no malware at all on your device.
