Ads by T0P-T0P.COM<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

T0P-T0P.COM ads are injected into all your web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

T0P-T0P.COM ads can be identified by spotting a small text that is normally located above (top-right) or below (bottom-right) of the ads. The text will normally say "Ads by T0P-T0P.COM<\/strong>". If T0P-T0P.COM ads are served as pop-ups, you can identify them by spotting the URL in the pop-up window.<\/p>\n

What types of unwanted behavior do Ads by T0P-T0P.COM exhibit?<\/h2>\n

Ads by T0P-T0P.COM are intrusive and invasive, often displaying irrelevant and objectionable content. Sometimes, the user's default home page and\/or search provider are substituted<\/strong> with pages serving T0P-T0P.COM ads.<\/p>\n

Ads by T0P-T0P.COM can appear when you open a new tab in the browser. In these cases, sites with T0P-T0P.COM ads will replace your default web page displaying when you open the browser, and deliver altered search results when you fire a search in the browser.<\/p>\n

Some reports suggest that T0P-T0P.COM ads may appear immediately after your computer starts up. If this is the case, the corresponding Web page was injected to autostart with a simple "explorer http:\/\/T0P-T0P.COM"<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n

T0P-T0P.COM ads are often added to Web browser shortcuts<\/strong> on your computer's desktop, Start menu and\/or the taskbar.<\/p>\n

\n
T0P-T0P.COM<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If this is the case, the browser shortcut will contain an altered command line to launch your default Web browser every time you want to open a new browsing session.<\/p>\n

T0P-T0P.COM ads can be launched without altering browser shortcuts by altering Windows Registry<\/strong> to specify a modified path to your default Web browser. This also results in T0P-T0P.COM opening every time you launch a new browsing session.<\/p>\n

\n
T0P-T0P.COM<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ads by T0P-T0P.COM can be injected into Web pages by installing a signed netfilter driver<\/strong> sniffing your Web traffic and injecting the ads into HTML code of Web pages.<\/\/p>

<\/div>

How T0P-T0P.COM got on your computer?<\/h2>\n

Just as malware or potentially unwanted programs, ads by T0P-T0P.COM get installed to your computer with browser toolbars, fake extensions and plugins<\/strong> (fake YouTube plugins, fake codec packs and fake "PC Cleaner" and "Windows Accelerator" type of products are among the most common), or simply downloaded with software obtained from suspicious sources.<\/p>\n

In order to display T0P-T0P.COM ads, some files are copied to your computer, some browser settings and\/or registry keys are modified.<\/p>\n

A browser toolbar, extension or plugin<\/strong> can be installed into your Web browser. In certain cases, existing browser plugins are infected<\/strong> by substituting manifest files or plugin source code.<\/p>\n

Sometimes a new startup key<\/strong> is created to automatically launch T0P-T0P.COM ads when your computer boots up. After installation, T0P-T0P.COM ads begin showing up as ads, pop-ups, and banners on your computer or in your Web browser.<\/p>\n
