There are a lot of different programs that may be directly or indirectly malicious. Therefore, it is good to have a better understanding about Trezaa instead of jumping straight into uninstalling it. So firstly, make sure that you are, indeed, threatened by this, as well. It will also pay off to know how to avoid unknowingly installing it a second time. At least some knowledge of this program will be required in order to successfully remove it from your machine. There ought to be some clarification about Trezaa “Virus” and what this word virus really means in this instance. Trezaa is not a computer virus according to the legal definition of this term, yet some users prefer this type of referral when describing Trezaa. We feel it is important to explain what Trezaa is, so as to eliminate any possible confusion.

What is Trezaa?

Trezaa is an application designed by its creator to provide the computer user, in this case, you, with all sorts of advertisements. It is a form of PUP, which, according to security experts, is called Potentially Unwanted Software and it actually differs from viruses. PUP are typically not directly malicious and do not cause explicit harm both the computer and its user. This piece of programming code works for all versions of windows and on all browsers, so switching between browsers, be it Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer, will usually not solve the problem.

One way this PUP may work is by keeping track of your browsing patterns, history, favorites and bookmarks. From this information, it is then able to generate convincing advertisements, such as coupons and deals of your recently viewed products. These advertisements may appear in the form of banners, pop-up boxes, or even as a separate window. The whole purpose of these advertisements is to entice you to click on that so that you will be directed to various sites that the creators of Trezaa wants you to.

Should I Remove Trezaa?

The sites that the advertisements will direct you to are mainly of 3 different categories.

The first type of websites that you are directed to are pay-per-click webpages that allows the creators to earn money when you enter the websites.

The second type of websites that you are directed to are suspicious websites that allows for other kinds of PUP to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. This may happen with or without your knowing.

The third type of websites will promote the “latest” software to be downloaded and installed for your ”benefit”. These software are full of security loopholes and serve as a portal for viruses and other malwares to enter your computer in the future.

Now that you know that clicking on the advertisements are not beneficial to you, no matter how alluring the advertisements might be, do not click on them. Always bear in mind that often times the advertisements are fake. Instead, when confronted with the advertisements, quickly close it.

Also, when being asked to download a new program or a program update, look carefully at the name of the program that you are asked to download. The creators of Trezaa may also conceal this threat under some legit programs and one of the ways of identifying the fraud is the spelling of the name – one is a slightly misspelled version of the other or by using a very similar name overall.

If you do engage in activities such as downloading free programs off the internet, be it legal or illegal, do take the time when going through the installation process. When installing the programs, choose “Custom Installation” instead of “Automatic Installation” as Trezaa is usually being bundled up together with these free programs and may get installed onto your computer if you are not careful. Look through the files that are being installed and uncheck any files with unfamiliar names to uninstall them from the installation list. Occasionally, to avoid detection, these files are hidden under “Advanced Settings”, so it is worth your while to go through that as well during the installation process.
