Where does Your mini Truetest come from?
The PUP is only targeted at Google Chrome users for now so as most of the extensions for this browser you can find it on Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/your-mini-truetest/icepgilpdfnecncejolijhnognpbgcgd). However, we do not think it is the primary source to obtain the unreliable add-on. It is entirely possible that besides being spread via Chrome Web Store, Your mini Truetest could also travels with bundled setup files. Therefore, users might receive it after installing freeware applications or any other software downloaded from questionable P2P file-sharing networks and similar sources. If your main goal is to avoid threats and unreliable applications in the future, you should keep away from untrustworthy file-sharing web pages. Plus, the computer might become less vulnerable if you acquire a legitimate antimalware tool too.
How does Your mini Truetest work?
The browser extension should add an icon on the Google Chrome’s top-right corner. Once clicked the icon might open a small window with various advertisements. Since the headlines of the ads we have seen are in the Russian language, the user would probably get redirected to Russian websites if he interacts with such content. The worst part is we do not know where these advertisements could come from.
As you see, the PUP’s creators did not bother to provide the Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, End User License Agreement documents. In other words, there is not knowing whether the ads are reviewed in order to reassure their safety. In fact, we do not think the application's developers would bother to do so as they probably care only about the advertising revenue they could be generating from each clicked ad. The reason we think this to be true is because Your mini Truetest does not have any useful features or advanced tools to enhance once browsing. On the contrary, all it does is provides users suspicious advertising content. If the ads can come from anywhere there is a possibility some part of them could be potentially dangerous, e.g. they might promote malicious software, fake lotteries and surveys, and other sites that could endanger your privacy or computer’s security.
How to eliminate Your mini Truetest?
Fortunately, erasing Your mini Truetest is a rather easy task. All you have to do is find the extension on the Google Chrome’s add-ons list and remove it from there. Afterward, the PUP should be deleted without any leftovers on the system. Later we would advise scanning your system with a legitimate antimalware tool. You may have installed more unreliable applications over time, and so it might be a smart idea to clean up the system and get rid of threats that could have accumulated on it. If you have not acquired an antimalware tool yet, you can do so at any time. If you take our advice, we would recommend updating the chosen security tool as much as possible for it to be able to recognize newer threats.
