What is TV Time?

TV Time (also searched for as TV Time virus) is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that usually downloads and installs without user knowledge or via custom software bundlers. It is used alongside other potentially unwanted programs, adware, and programs that hijack your internet browser settings. If TV Time is installed you can expect your homepage and default search engine to change to a sponsored website such as Trovi. You will also become bombarded with pop-up and in-text style advertisements while you browse the web.

What is TV Time?

TV Time is usually promoted as a media player or media player update, including a Flash Player or FLV type media player. It can also be found under the name HiDefmediaplayer.

Potential TV Time malware generates pop-up ads across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Ads by TV Time  are defined as ‘targeted’ ads because they use your personal browsing information (including all your data on the websites you visit) to produce advertisements it feels you are most likely to click on. The adware basically ‘targets’ you based off your current and past browsing habits.

TV Time adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but this adware is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove TV Time if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files.

TV Time and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge. TV Time is often bundled inside third-party software downloaders and bundlers. It may arrive on a computer system once other programs have been introduced to the machine. Software that TV Time adware may bundle with includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
