Trendio - How to remove

Trendio is a fake online content optimization utility developed by SuperWeb LLC. It says to present you with the latest news and strives for resemblance to such optimizers as Outbrain.com and Revcontent.com but is rather similar to such adwares as Oasis Space. This adware is available on trendio.net. It may seduce you by the latte with a thick head of foam. You can almost smell it and may even find yourself tasting its flavor. Not to mention how that ‘‘free’’ tag is hypnotizing. But we urge you not to download it. The reasons for such an advice will be outlined just in a few minutes.

About Trendio Ads

Trendio adware may apply ActionScript and CSS-styles to embed advertising content into your visiting websites. This 3rd party content will act as an obstruction in viewing the actual content of the website. The ads may vary from pop-ups, pop-unders, hyperlinks to even full window banners. Their offers may range from deals and bargains, false security warnings and fake software updates to gaming and gambling suggestions, etc. To generate more pay-per-click revenue Trendio will track your browsing activities and, then, display user-oriented ads.

Trendio is also notable for redirection issues. Web traffic is being redirected to endorsed domains every time you click on the ads by Trendio. This way the adware earns commissions from 3rd parties. And you are rerouted to suspicious 3rd party servers embodying malware of various forms such as Sality virus, Cooexp exploit and many other swarming on the Internet. Additionally, your computer will malfunction in the form of repetitive slowdowns.

How does Trendio Ads Spread?

As it has been mentioned, it can be downloaded and installed from its official website. But the most common distribution method of Trendio adware is called ‘‘bundling’’. This means that the adware is latched onto freeware/shareware available on the Internet. This suggest that you must take the installation procedure of free programs seriously. You should read the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use documents (or any similar however they are named). Then, choose Advanced/Customized setup mode and unmark pre-marked applications. These are typically PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) you are not willing and never wanted to install.

If you have already encountered Trendio Ads on your computer’s system, do not to let it compromise your device and put to use credible malware removal tools such as Spyhunter, Malwarebytes, and StopZilla. These anti-malware utilities will remove the adware completely and permanently. Follow the removal instructions for Trendio below.
