Terra.im

Posted: January 30, 2015

Terra.im is classified a low-level search engine provider that may also be associated with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). PUPs or adware may automatically replace your standard homepage and default search engine. Typically, users may acquire a Potentially Unwanted Application by downloading free software. It is quite often that free programs are bundled with adware or PUPs that get installed alongside freeware. When users install a PUP, it is highly likely that it also creates shortcuts to popular websites such as YouTube, Google, Yahoo or Facebook. The Terra.im search tool may seem useful at first glance, but in reality, it is used to redirect users to third-party websites.
