Triple-search.com Redirect

What is Triple-search.com?

The Triple-search.com browser hijacker was created by Montiera Technologies LTD. This potentially unwanted application installs together with free software downloaded from the Internet using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'.

Usually, the Triple search toolbar infiltrates users' Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) without their consent and modifies the Internet browser homepage and default search engine settings - assigning them to triple-search.com

While this browser hijacker may not appear to be a high-risk malware infection, users should be aware that using this website for daily Internet searches is not recommended - it tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording IP addresses and search queries entered. Furthermore, this website uses a deceptive Internet search engine that returns dubious search results.

Browser redirects to triple-search.com may lead to malware infections and identity theft, and therefore, you are advised to eliminate this adware from your Internet browser/s. This browser settings-changing adware is closely related to Babylon Ltd, a free software developer known for distributing Babylon toolbar and other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).

The Triple-search.com browser hijacker is identical to previous variants, which redirected Internet users to dalesearch.com, Delta-Search.com, BuenoSearch.com, and Searchgol.com

Creators of these browser toolbars state that they enhance browsing by displaying quick links to popular websites, Internet radio, and providing a reliable Internet search engine, however, they are categorized as adware and it is not recommended to use browser plug-ins created by Montiera technologies Ltd.

To avoid installation of these potentially unwanted applications, be attentive when downloading and installing free software. If your download is managed by a download client, decline installation of advertised browser extensions.

When installing downloaded programs, use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options - this will reveal installation of bundled adware. Computer users who experience browser redirects to triple-search.com should use this removal guide to eliminate adware from their Internet browsers.
