Trovigo.com

Trovigo.com is a search-redirection website that reroutes any would-be searches through to Bing.com. Although Trovigo.com isn't threatening, Trovigo.com does have ties with software and companies, such as Conduit that are well-known for inducing security and quality of life problems with Web browsers in general. Malware researchers don't rate toolbars or other products promoting Trovigo.com as threats, but still recommend removing them through the use of reliable anti-malware or anti-adware software whenever Trovigo.com redirects or other unwanted Trovigo.com-related symptoms make themselves known.

Searching for a Way out of Trovigo.com Searches

Because Trovigo.com doesn't have any noteworthy content of its own, Trovigo.com offers no real reasons to visit Trovigo.com, nor any reasons to avoid Trovigo.com. Trovigo.com's basic search engine doesn't have any independent search capabilities and relies on redirecting users to a real search site – most likely while tracking them with cookies. Loading Trovigo.com in your browser isn't threatening, but you may want to be suspicious of any advertisements or other offers associated with Trovigo.com.

Malware researchers often see similar search sites involved with Potentially Unwanted Programs, including a rainbow of different browser add-ons and Trovigo.com appears to have stayed in line with this tendency. As one of many domains associated with Conduit.com, Trovigo.com is most likely to be promoted through the browser changes initiated by toolbars and other add-ons that have limited or no features of benefit to your PC. Symptoms that may be associated with Conduit-based toolbars include being redirected to Trovigo.com or other sites automatically, having your homepage changed, having your default search engine changed and/or being unable to modify any relevant browser settings normally.

Add-ons known for causing the above problems are referred to as browser hijackers. A Trovigo.com hijacker is a performance, quality of life and security hazard, even when Trovigo.com isn't interested in attacking your computer.

How to Grab Your Browser and Go out of Trovigo.com for Good

A browser that's redirected to Trovigo.com by a Conduit toolbar may not be in any immediate danger, but it may be less responsive to your commands and settings choices. As a rule, browser hijackers for Trovigo.com or other Conduit-related sites should be uninstalled to keep your Web browser entirely under your control. Failing to remove Trovigo.com hijackers may result in minor security issues that could cause harm to your PC over time, as with any application that overrides your personal settings.

Malware researchers expect to see freeware-bundling tools playing a major part in the future distribution of Trovigo.com hijackers. Most of these exposure points can be avoided with safe browsing behavior combined with anti-malware tools that can scan and detect bundler utilities easily. If a Trovigo.com hijacker is already installed, deleting the Trovigo.com toolbar should be a high priority issue to be done with appropriate security software.
