ttczmd.com is a browser hijacker. You might be wondering what a browser hijacker actually is… The answer is pretty straightforward, a browser hijacker is a malicious program that as quietly as possible and without asking for any kind of approval from the user first, changes several settings in all web browsers installed when the infection is done. Usually what is changed first is the default homepage, default search engine and the new tab page. Either Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer can be infected with ttczmd.com.
Even though the install methods used by ttczmd.com are those of a virus, it is really not as dangerous as a Trojan or a ransomware would’ve been. So there’s no need to panic; however it is still necessary to remove it as soon as possible to avoid being redirected towards sites or programs that would be really dangerous.
In most cases browser hijackers are developed to earn money through ads that will be inserted posing as real search results. Therefore, the more users are infected the more money ttczmd.com will make for its developers.
In order for this to work they need to get thousands of users infected, which is why they have strategically added ttczmd.com to popular downloads like video players, game hacks and free software.
