How Trezaa Causes Harm

It works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge or even Safari. That means Apple users might get infected as well. In addition to that, it will also place some malicious files directly on the computer, so even if the web extension is disabled and removed, the virus will be restored the very next time you turn on the machine. That makes removal of Trezaa a little bit more complicated.

Even though this free tool is described as a way to enhance the web browsing and even save money, it is not true. The one and only intention of Trezaa is to make money by displaying sponsored content to the owners of infected computer. The problem is that they accept anyone as their partners. That being said, you can expect very nasty or even dangerous advertisements delivered to you.

Once inside of your computer, Trezaa will flood your web browsers with various ads in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. A new tab or even window with an advertisement on it can be opened at any time as well. They employ Virtual access layer technology to implement those ads into websites that you are using.

Ads displayed by Trezaa usually appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads this way. And we do not recommend to do that.

If it happens so that you click on the ad displayed by Trezaa you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cybercriminals, such as hackers or Scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.
