Loa.teebik.com has driven me mad. No matter whether I open the browser this thing will occur on my computer using the default browser. What’s more, it makes noise when it pops up and I have been disturbed a lot by this unwanted pop up. I also tried all the ways I can find on the internet to get rid of it but all of them failed. I do not have any ideas anymore on how to eliminate this pop up completely. Anyone can help?

General Instruction of Loa.teebik.com Pop-up

Loa.teebik.com is a browser hijacker which pops up on computer installed with windows operating systems. It is not the same as many browser hijackers that is decorated as search engines. It is a page which displays games contents. It tells people that it’s free to play. It seems not a bad choice to kill time. However, it is risky to click on the site as it definitely will redirect you to malicious sites that are full of various computer viruses, threats and malware. Some rookits or Trojan horse viruses will have access to your vulnerable system once you click on the unsafe page. It has been found out that this is not a simple browser pop up. Almost all antivirus will not detect any threats related to this pop up. You cannot find any suspicious programs in the programs and features list either. It seems that the virus comes from nowhere and anywhere.

Why and how we get infected by this rogue pop up? In fact, differing from most hijacker viruses, Loa.teebik.com is one which seldom appears all by itself. It is usually bundled with some programs so that it can root deeply and firmly in the system. Some computer user may ask, I do not have any useless programs then why is my computer still infected? The reason is simple. We often download and use famous and reputable programs when we need to use them. But where to download them is not taken as a serious issue to most net users. Some people may Google the name of the program and select one of the search results to install the program they want. But is the link you select safe enough? Nowadays, cyber criminals are seeking for any possible ways to get profits. They modify good programs with rookits and viruses and spread them on the internet. People who are not computer literate can download the modified one instead of some clean and healthy ones. When they install the masqueraded one the viruses and threats in the package can get ways to the system.
