What is Qtipr.com?

Qtipr.com contains funny stories and looks like a harmless website. Unfortunately, an appearance of a website might be very misleading, so do not judge the book by its cover. Even though Qtipr.com looks decent, its presence on your browsers indicates that a browser hijacker has successfully slithered onto the computer. The website itself cannot be called malicious, but it might still expose users to potential threats. On top of that, users often find the presence of this web page very irritating because they no longer see their preferred website when they open their browsers. The removal of Qtipr.com is the only way to undo the changes applied and set the website you prefer again. Unfortunately, it will not be an easy activity to perform because this browser hijacker modifies the Target line on all the browsers so that it could easily revive if a user replaces Qtipr.com with a different website. Luckily, you are reading this article and you will know by the end of it how to fix the Target line on all browsers and, consequently, erase a dubious website permanently.

What does Qtipr.com do?

All browser hijackers change the settings of browsers the moment they successfully enter computers. Qtipr.com is no exception. It will be set as your homepage so that you could see it every day. The main purpose of this website promoted by a browser hijacker is unknown, but researchers suspect that it is a platform for displaying advertisements to users. Researchers do not think that all these commercials are decent and can be trusted, so they do not recommend clicking on any of them. If you do not pay attention to this piece of advice and keep clicking on all commercials you see, you might quickly end up with undesirable software on your computer, or you might be redirected to an untrustworthy website one day. Anything might be found on these third-party websites, even malicious software. See, we try to protect your PC from malware by suggesting you not to click on ads placed on Qtipr.com.

Third-party websites promoted by Qtipr.com might not contain malware or bad links. Instead, they might seek to get personal information about users, for example, name, surname, address, etc. Users might be asked to take surveys or enter personal details to have a chance to win an expensive item. Details that are considered personal are quite expensive, so the information you submit on a third-party website might be sold, meaning that it might end up in the hands of bad people. We do not think you wish these personal details to be used for fraudulent purposes.

Where does Qtipr.com come from?

Browser hijackers enter computers without permission and then hijack users’ browsers. There is no doubt that Qtipr.com has been set on your browsers without permission too. In most cases, it changes the browsers’ settings once the UCBrowser, MaohaWiFi or another Chinese bundle is installed on the computer. Most probably, this browser hijacker does not travel alone, so you might need to take care of other untrustworthy applications too. Do not download software from untrustworthy websites ever again and carefully install new applications. It is also highly recommended to have a security application installed on the computer too because malicious applications might enter computers unnoticed. In this case, an automatic tool will prevent undesirable software from entering the computer for you.

How do I delete Qtipr.com?

If you have already discovered changes applied to all your browsers, it would be best to go to delete Qtipr.com immediately. Unfortunately, its removal is usually quite complicated because it is not enough to remove Qtipr.com from browsers. Users also have to fix the shortcuts of browsers because this browser hijacker modifies the Target line of browsers’ shortcuts so that it will not disappear anywhere if a user changes the homepage. Follow our step-by-step instructions to delete this dubious search tool once and for all. If it happens that you find it impossible to erase this infection in a manual way, you should let an automatic malware remover, e.g. SpyHunter to delete it for you.
