What is Trovi.com?
Trovi is considered to be a dangerous browser hijacker, which sets trovi.com or trovigo.com as your browser’s main page and search engine without your permission. What makes it dangerous is that this “add-on” is stuffed with advertisements which are displayed while you browse the web. Also, your browsing habits may be exposed to advertising companies to serve you with even more pop-ups with advertisements. Since it’s a browser extension, it adds some lag to your browser’s performance.
Trovi.com is typically bundled with various applications found online: video and audio converters, YouTube enhancers, PC optimizers, to name a few. Even if such apps may be totally legitimate and safe, their installers are bundled with hijackers like Trovi, which are installed by default. Once on your PC, the hijacker takes over your browser, be it Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. Although it may have an uninstaller app in Windows Control Panel, additional steps must be done to completely erase this infection.
Do not wait until Trovi and the likes bring your PC down – get rid of this browser hijacker either by following our automated instructions involving a dedicated anti-spyware application, or manual instructions, if you know how to operate Windows Registry and understand the risks of erasing critical system files.
