Do you know what Feed.tinychill.com is?
If you have downloaded the TinyChill extension, it is likely that all of your web searches are now redirected via Feed.tinychill.com. According to our researchers – who identified the search engine as a browser hijacker – it can redirect to search.snapdo.com, search.sidecubes.com, search.safefinder.com, and also to search.yhaoo.com. In the latter case, the results could be modified, and so trusting them is not a good idea. In fact, whenever you are redirected to one search engine from another, you need to become suspicious. Is it possible that your browser was hijacked? Is it possible that someone is pushing you towards unreliable engines or unreliable content? Is it possible that you are at risk trusting the content you are introduced to? Answering such questions can be difficult, but of course, you do not want to take any risks. This is why we have created a guide that shows how to remove Feed.tinychill.com and TinyChill.
Just recently, the suspicious TinyChill could be downloaded from the Chrome web store. The downloader was offered at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tinychill/djlopnkmcpkkdnhgpffbnllnpinagcac. Right now, however, this page is no longer accessible, and it appears that the extension has been taken down. That does not mean that this strange extension cannot be introduced to Chrome users via unreliable third-party downloaders. It is also possible that you are facing Feed.tinychill.com redirects without the extension’s presence at all. It appears that it can be bundled with Snap.do, SideCubes.com, and Search.SafeFinder.com hijackers as well. Obviously, if they have invaded your operating system, you need to delete them as quickly as possible. Any of these hijackers could expose you to potentially unreliable content (think scams, fake offers, and bogus product deals) and could record some information about you.

Feed.tinychill.com or portal.tinychill.com has its own interface as well. The page offers to add favorite websites for easy access, presents a calculator, a currency converter, and also a file converter (PDF). At the top, of course, you are always introduced to a search dialog box. At the bottom of the page, you can find links to Terms, Privacy, and FAQ pages. The FAQ link did not work at the time of the search, but the privacy policy and terms of use statements were accessible. You might know already that reviewing such statements is very important before a new service or program is used for the first time. Although most users find privacy policies and similar documents to be confusing, annoying, and boring, they can reveal important information about a specific service. Needless to say, if you are uncomfortable with anything disclosed, you might want to look for a different program or service that you can trust fully.
It is easy to delete TinyChill from Google Chrome manually, and if you have no idea where you can find this extension, you can look at the Feed.tinychill.com removal guide below. It also includes steps that show how to uninstall undesirable programs that could be associated with the hijacker and how to clear browsing data from Google Chrome to ensure that there are no web cookies left behind to track your activity. Needless to say, because a browser hijacker is identified as a malicious threat, we recommend scanning your system because you do not want any surprises. If you are informed that other threats exist, we suggest implementing reliable anti-malware software to perform removal automatically.

In non-techie terms:
If you are redirected to third-party search engines via Feed.tinychill.com, there is a good chance that a browser hijacker has taken over your Google Chrome web browser. TinyChill is one of the hijackers that you might need to get rid of to delete Feed.tinychill.com, but other hijackers could be involved as well. If you are a little bit confused, we recommend installing a legitimate malware scanner immediately. It will go through your system and determine what needs to be deleted. Once you have the list of threats, you can devise a plan on how to remove them all. If you are not confident about your manual removal skills and knowledge, perhaps it is high time you installed anti-malware software capable of erasing threats automatically?
