What is Travel Giga?

Our researchers warn users that Travel Giga is yet another adware that is very similar to BeautyBrilliant, BuiltMoneyMaker, etc. It appears that the application is yet another creation of Max Speedy (Fried Cookie Ltd) that is a company known to be a primary distributor of unwanted software. The program might show you ads or even open new browser windows and load unreliable web pages, so do not be surprised if it will show you a dating website or any other site that has nothing to do with travel offers. You should try to avoid such redirection because you might land on suspicious web pages that could be harmful to your computer. Since the program displays a whole other content than it promises, there are no reason to keep it on your system. If you scroll down, you will find removal instructions below the article. test test test

Where does Travel Giga come from?

Even though you could easily download the application from travelgiga.com, it seems it might be spreading bundled with other programs, too. In other words, the adware could appear in other software’s installer. It becomes visible only when you begin the installation process, and users should be allowed to reject the suggested applications. The bundled installers can be found in untrustworthy file-sharing web pages, so it would be better to avoid such sites.

How does Travel Giga work?

The program’s window has its logo on the top left corner, and the rest of the space is filled with content from third-party websites. For instance, it could load freelotto.com, download.safepcrepair.com, alwaysup.mypc-updater.com, and many other sites. Also, it will open your default browser window and redirect you to interest4.valuedinformation.com when you launch Travel Giga each and every single time. According to our specialists, the software might load trustworthy sites too, such as hostelbookers.com, from time to time. Still, you should keep away from the sites displayed by this adware because it might be impossible to decide which site is reliable. In some cases, it is possible to catch a virus or any other malware infection just by entering a site that has malicious content.

Furthermore, the application claims to be gathering only your non-personal information. Usually, anonymous user data includes a list of web pages user visited, time spent on particular sites, clicked advertisements, and so on. However, Travel Giga creators cannot assure you that a third party will not collect your personal data. That is why they included this statement into their Privacy Policy: “When you opt to receive information or sign up for an offer from an advertiser, you may be doing so through third party sites and with other companies over which we have no control. You should read those sites' privacy policies to make sure you agree to them before using such sites.” As you realize, it might be difficult to protect your privacy and enjoy the program at the same time. If you do not want to wonder whether the site you are redirected to will cause you harm, you should not keep this adware installed.
