This toolbar uses a Montera Technologies LTD Api, causing redirect issues to Tuvaro.com

This browser add-on is not technically considered a virus, however, Internet users commonly download and install it on their Internet browser inadvertently.

The toolbar is bundled with free software. Internet users should be aware that the deceptive software distribution method, 'bundling', has become popular and many freeware developers and free software download websites use it to monetize downloads.

Browser hijackers are mainly distributed through deceptive promotional webpages, online scams, freeware and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, third-party downloaders, software bundling, fake updates, spam browser notifications, and intrusive ads.

Will Combo Cleaner help me remove browser hijackers?

Therefore, browser hijackers must be eliminated thoroughly and all at once.
