TTinline Ads

What is TTinline?
The TTinline browser add-on claims to improve users' Internet browsing experience by displaying websites containing related content, enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and adding other useful functionality. Although TTinline may seem a legitimate browser extension, users should be aware that it is considered to be adware.
TTinline is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome and employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional applications together with the chosen software) to install on these browsers without users' consent.
Following successful infiltration, TTinline monitors users' Internet browsing activity by recording diverse hardware and software information such as IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, URLs visited, search queries entered, pages viewed, and other similar information.
Furthermore, this add-on generates intrusive online advertisements including interstitial, transitional, text link, search, banner, and full page ads.
The presence of adware such as TTinline may lead to serious privacy issues, identity theft, or malware infections. There are many potentially unwanted browser extensions similar to TTinline including, for example, ToggleMark, Webbelse, and WebWaltz.
These browser extensions claim to improve the quality of users' browsing experience by enabling certain functions, however, they add no real value, diminish browser performance, and display various online ads. The actual purpose of these potentially unwanted applications is to generate income by the display of intrusive online advertisements.
Research shows that over half of all potentially unwanted applications are distributed via 'download managers' within freeware download websites (for example: download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, and many others).
Most of these websites employ download managers to monetize their free services by offering installation of promoted browser extensions together with the chosen software. By recklessly downloading and installing freeware, users risk PC infection with adware or malware.
Installation of TTinline, or other similar adware, can be prevented by closely inspecting each step during the download of freeware and declining installation of any additional applications offered.
If you are installing downloaded software, choose the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Regular - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation, and you will be able to decline them.
Users who have already installed TTinline and observe "brought by TTinline deals", "TT", and "Shopping powered by TT" when browsing the Internet, should follow this removal guide to eliminate TTinline adware from their Internet browser/s.
