TopicTorch Removal Guide

There is a variety of computer programs that may seem legitimate and are far from being dangerous computer security threats, but nevertheless computer security experts recommend avoiding them at all costs. TopicTorch is one of those programs. It is an adware application that supports advertisements and may expose users to unreliable third-party content. Hence, you should remove TopicTorch from your computer if you happen to have it installed. Despite the fact that this program promises to enhance your online browsing experience, the truth is that it can only make it worse. You should think twice before installing such programs on your PC.

One of the reasons users may find TopicTorch reliable is that it is very easy to download the application at its official website via topictorch.com. Usually, adware programs have official homepages, but the download links are unavailable. That is not the case with TopicTorch, although we can make an assumption that the official download link is not the only method of distribution. As one can easily find out, TopicTorch is also available at Google Chrome web store, and the application can arrive bundled with other adware and freeware.

When TopicTorch gets installed onto your computer, it adds extensions to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and then displays a panel on the left of any website you visit. This sidebar panel gives you various search offers that depend on the website you are on. Clicking the link on the sidebar redirects you to contenko.com that exposes you to commercial content further on.

It is important to point out that downloading TopicTorch directly from the homepage is not the only way to get the sidebar panel. According to our research, TopicTorch panel also appears on your screen when you install any adware program from SuperWeb LLC family on your system as well. It clearly shows that the application often comes bundled with other adware, and it could be used to questionable purposes. In case TopicTorch arrives with SuperWeb adware, you will not find any separate TopicTorch files on your computer – you will have to remove the adware in question to get rid of the panel.

On the other hand, if you do have TopicTorch installed on the PC, you can simply uninstall it via Control Panel. Once again, we must emphasize that this program is not a dangerous computer infection – you simply need to take precaution measures in order to avoid potential security threats.

After manual removal, you should invest in a powerful antispyware tool and run a full system scan. A full system scan will ensure that your PC is safe and clean. Do everything you can to safeguard your system from harm.
