Posted: September 2, 2013

Tumri.net is a website associated with non-consensual pop-ups and browser-hijacking attacks that force Tumri.net to load without your permission. In addition, Tumri.net has been classified as having minor privacy issues related to tracking the Web-browsing habits of its visitors. Ultimately, while SpywareRemove.com malware researchers don't categorize Tumri.net among infection vector sites or other threats to your PC, PC threats that force you to visit Tumri.net should be considered a threat to be deleted as soon as the chance presents itself. Because browser hijackers related to Tumri.net attacks usually attempt to avoid being deleted, you may need anti-malware tools to delete Tumri.net-affiliated malware efficiently.

When a Tumri.net Redirect Virus Takes Your Browser for a Tumble

When loaded as an ordinary site, Tumri.net does not display any independent content and usually only will be noticeable when various PC threats use Tumri.net to display advertisements. Symptoms of a Tumri.net threat are somewhat varied, leading to SpywareRemove.com malware experts to estimate that there are multiple variants being distributed in the wild. These symptoms include:

  • Tumri.net pop-up windows that trigger arbitrarily.
  • Browser redirects to Tumri.net (also known as browser hijacks).

Advertisements displayed through Tumri.net attacks may use cookies to monitor your Web-browsing behavior, such as your search terms or which sites you visit, but have not been found to include any malicious content so far. In most cases, the attacks of any already-installed Tumri.net hijackers are triggered from visits to popular search engines or e-mail sites such as Yahoo. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts also have confirmed that they're compatible with nearly all versions of Windows, encompassing Windows 7.

Beating the Tumri.net Browser Bug

Although PC threats using Tumri.net for forced landing pages have been circulating for years, there has been a rise in their attacks as of the last few months. All of the usual warnings regarding potentially unsafe advertising content also apply to Tumri.net's advertisements, which may be used by third parties for various purposes ranging from the mildly disingenuous to illegal and malicious. In particular, software updates or patches offered through Tumri.net advertisements or other third-party sources never should be trusted as safe for your computer.

Because Tumri.net hijackers may make changes to multiple browsers and browser-indiscriminate system components like your operating system's Registry, you usually should not attempt to delete a Tumri.net hijacker like a normal application. Instead, anti-malware scans from appropriate software should be sufficient for deleting all components of a Tumri.net hijacker, as well as removing the browser changes that force Tumri.net to load.

Tumri.net-based hijack attacks have been seen in most Windows browsers, such as Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer. SpywareRemove.com malware research team has not seen any cases of Tumri.net browser hijacks affecting any non-Windows operating systems, although such OSes should not be considered immune to similar PC threats in general.
