What is MiniEdition TT?
MiniEdition TT might not look like much of a problem, but this extension is categorized as a potentially unwanted program, so it means that you have to think carefully before you install this application on your computer. What’s more, if the extension seemingly appears out of nowhere, it is obvious that you need to remove it from your computer before it manages to grow into something problematic.
In this description, we will talk about more potentially unwanted programs and MiniEdition TT in particular. Although such applications cannot destroy your system, they can still cause quite a few issues that should not be overlooked.
Where does MiniEdition TT come from?
Like it usually is with potentially unwanted programs, this browser hijacker has several distribution sources. Most of the time, users are not aware of the fact they add this extension to their Chrome browser. As you can probably tell, this is the only browser that is compatible with this extension, but if you use another browser, that is no reason to breathe a sigh of relief. Depending on the manner of distribution, MiniEdition TT could still enter your PC!
First, the extension has an entry in the Chrome Web Store. So you can actually add it to your browser “officially,” so to speak. On the other hand, the program’s section is entirely in the Russian language, so if you do not speak it, it is highly unlikely that you would understand something, and that you would add the extension.
Second, MiniEdition TT might also arrive in a software package or bundled with some freeware applications. Our research suggests that the program can easily access your computer if you download and install Yandex, Mail.ru, and Amigo applications. Once again, these apps are intended for the Russian-speaking market, so unless you downloaded them on purpose, it is very unlikely that you would have planned on keeping them on-board.
What does MiniEdition TT do?
Now, why do computer security specialists urge users to avoid potentially unwanted programs? First, when you do not plan to install a program, and it happens to appear in your system, it is a problem. Second, this category tends to fall into the gray zone because while the program itself cannot be considered malicious, it may have certain features that could eventually prove to be problematic. Hence, following the “better safe than sorry” principle, it would be a good idea to simply get rid of the undesirable applications from your computer.
As far as the original functions of this extension go, it would be hard to say whether it really improves your online experience. It seems that the extension simply works for only one website that is called TrueTest (hence, the TT). The extension should allow you to open a mini version of the site, without using your entire screen. But the question is whether you actually use this TrueTest site in the first place.
Hence, the more important thing right now is the side effects of keeping this extension on your computer. Like most of the browser add-ons, MiniEdition TT collects data on your web browsing history. It means that the extension supports third-party advertising, and it needs the data in question to generate custom commercial ads. While this type of activity is not illegal, it presents specific security issues. What we mean is that the extension could be exploited by malevolent third parties to promote corrupted third party concept. That is highly possible because the extension will not review the content it promotes. Thus, if you happen to land on an unfamiliar website after clicking something via MiniEdition TT, you are left entirely on your own.
How do I remove MiniEdition TT?
There is nothing complicated about removing MiniEdition TT from your browser. You simply need to delete the extension via the browser’s menu. On the other hand, you should also look for other unwanted applications that could have been part of the package. Remember the bundling part? This extension could easily be just one of the many undesirable programs installed on your PC.
