Do you know what TZip is?
TZip is an untrustworthy program. Even though this program offers services you can apply and use, our research team has found that it could download and install browser hijackers without your permission. Does that sound to you like normal activity? Of course this is not normal because only malicious and unreliable programs can download software without your permission. We do not identify TZip itself as a malicious program, but it is obvious that it requires removal. Our research team has identified this suspicious tool as a potentially unwanted program, and this report will help you make a decision regarding its fate. Whether or not you decide to remove TZip, you will know what risks you might encounter if you do not.
Although users can download the supposedly amazing TZip from tzipfree.com, it was found that this PUP – which is short for “potentially unwanted program” – is distributed by third-party installers as well. In case you find this PUP bundled with unfamiliar programs, it is your responsibility to research them. If you download software carelessly, you might let in malicious programs, and, if that happens, you will have to spend your precious time deleting them. Even if you do not download unreliable programs yourself, TZip could do that for you. Istartsurf.com is one of the many hijackers that TZip could install onto your browsers without your permission. The developer of this program, Navigation network co., ltd., has also developed Allinchrome.com, Seekmix.com, and similar search tools. Even though we do not identify them as malicious hijackers, you might have to remove them if you download TZip.
