How to uninstall the Temeliq Ultra Touch unwanted application

What kind of application is Temeliq Ultra Touch?

Our researchers found an installer containing the Temeliq Ultra Touch PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application) while browsing deceptive websites. These apps usually have harmful abilities, and upon analysis, we discovered that Temeliq Ultra Touch acts as a dropper for the Legion Loader malware.

Temeliq Ultra Touch overview

Temeliq Ultra Touch unwanted application functions as a dropper for (i.e., infiltrates into systems) Legion Loader. This malware is classed as a loader – it can download/install additional malicious programs or components. Legion Loader has been observed infiltrating trojans, ransomware, information stealers, cryptocurrency miners, and malicious browser extensions.

Google Chrome extensions installed by this loader have operated by monitoring browsing activity, stealing email contents, and functioning as proxyware (i.e., turning browsers into HTTP proxies to abuse Internet resources).

Furthermore, installation setups like the one promoting Temeliq Ultra Touch are often bundled (packed together) with other hazardous software, such as PUAs, adware, browser hijackers, etc.

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software like Temeliq Ultra Touch on devices can lead to system infections, permanent data loss, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Potentially unwanted application examples

We have examined numerous unwanted apps; Tao Raiqsuv Utils, Klio Verfair Tools, Caveqn App, Roxaq Apps, and Cuiall Apps are just some of our latest articles on ones that act as a dropper for Temeliq Ultra Touch.

PUAs often have malicious/undesirable functionalities, such as collecting sensitive data, displaying ads (adware), modifying browsers to promote fake search engines (browser hijackers), etc. These applications usually appear legitimate and offer useful features, which are rarely operational.

It must be stressed that even if a piece of software works exactly as advertised – that is not definitive proof of legitimacy or safety.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

We downloaded an installer containing Temeliq Ultra Touch from a rogue webpage – appsuccess[.]monster. However, this app could be spread utilizing other methods. PUAs can have "official" promotional pages and are endorsed on scam websites. Most users enter them via redirects caused by intrusive ads, sites using rogue advertising networks, spam browser notifications, misspelled URLs, and installed adware.

"Bundling" – packing ordinary program installation setups with unwanted/malicious additions – is also used to proliferate PUAs. Additionally, intrusive adverts spread unwanted software. When clicked on, some of these advertisements execute scripts to perform sneaky downloads/installations.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

We highly recommend researching software and downloading only from official/verified sources. When installing, it is crucial to read terms, explore available options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt out of all additional apps, extensions, tools, etc.

Another recommendation is to be vigilant when browsing since the Internet is full of deceptive and dangerous content that appears legitimate and harmless. For example, despite their innocuous appearance – intrusive ads redirect to unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., scam-promoting, gambling, pornography, adult dating, etc.).

In case of continuous encounters with such adverts/redirects, check the system and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
