Remove TopSearchMaps
TopSearchMaps is a dodgy browser add-on that you should not install. While it is not dangerous, it may cause annoying and intrusive changes to your browser configuration. Furthermore, undoing these changes might not be possible unless you ensure TopSearchMaps' removal first.
This add-on is considered to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) it is often installed without the user's approval – typically this happens because of software bundles, deceptive ads, or fake downloads. Some users might also install TopSearchMaps manually, because it promises to provide them with access to neat online maps, directions, and access to similar services. In reality, however, TopSearchMaps does not introduce any useful features to Web browsers.
Why is TopSearchMaps Intrusive?
The changes that this PUP brings concern your browser's default search engine and new tab page. TopSearchMaps will replace the new tab page with Portal.topsearchmaps.com, while the default search service is set to Feed.topsearchmaps.com.
Having an intrusive extension manipulate your browser settings can hinder your online experience. The websites that TopSearchMaps promotes are not a threat, but they could lead you to low-quality search results and other unreliable content. We advise you to be wary of pages that show up randomly in your browser. Remove TopSearchMaps by using a reliable security scanner – this is the best way to ensure that all files and components are gone.
