Torrents Time

Torrents Time and traces that may arrive on your computer alongside this program are detected as adware by several Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs. Reports claim that Torrents Time displays pop-up advertisements in a victim’s web browser after contraction. Others indicate that this program can be used to spy on victims.

Torrents Time is promoted as a free tool allowing you to stream torrents online for websites like KickassTorrents and The Pirate Bay. Torrenting websites often contain deceptive ads that say something like “Click here if download doesn’t start automatically.” Once a user clicks this ad the TorrentsTime Media Player program will automatically download and install to Windows Control Panel. In the web browser a new window will load that contains a streaming video of the torrent.

Torrents Time can also be installed by a different program that is downloaded by the user depending on the point of distribution. The most common way this happens is by downloading a program or file from a disreputable source. Downloading  items like freeware, download managers and torrent files will result in potentially unwanted programs infecting the user’s system. Even if a program is well known and trustworthy, downloading it from a malicious site will lead to infection.

If the user has previously downloaded a malicious program, Torrents Time adware could have been downloaded in the background without permission of the user. The user might also be tricked into accepting the download under the guise of a program update. Malicious authors often hide the download behind a terms and conditions page, effectively tricking users into downloading adware. In some instances Torrents Time may be advertised as an extension to improve the user’s browsing experience in order to encourage a direct download. Regardless of how the system was infected, removal remains relatively unchanged.

Even if this program and web browser has been closed a process called TTService (32 bit) will still run in the background.
