Trendlavida
This page aims to help you remove the Trendlavida Virus. Our removal instructions for the Trendlavida virus, work for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, as well as every version of Windows.
It can certainly be annoying and even unnerving if the homepage of your browser has been replaced by some web address that you’ve never heard of before and if your browser’s search engine is no longer the one that you have been used to and is now instead some custom one that doesn’t seem to provide you with relevant search results. The most likely reason for such changes typically is a software element that has been integrated with your browser and which is responsible for the unwelcome changes. This could occur on most of the commonly used browsers and, understandably, the main targets of hijackers are Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, since those are the browsers that are used by the most people. In addition to the imposed changes, page-redirects and pop-up ads may start to show up as well.
Trendlavida is probably the unwanted homepage that has been recently imposed on your browser and which is the reason you are here. This page is also one that is brought by a hijacker that is typically referred to as Trendlavida Virus as well. If you are here hoping to find a way to uninstall the annoyance that has introduced those changes to your browser, you are on the right track. However, prior to going to our Trendlavida removal guide and using its instructions, it would be a good idea to learn some more things about this type of irritating software components so that you don’t have to encounter them again in the future.

- If you don’t see a malicious process in the Task Manager, look for another suspicious process with an unusual name. It is likely that the unwanted process would be using lots of RAM and CPU so pay attention to the number of resources each process is using.
- Tip: If you think you have singled out the unwanted process but are not sure, it’s always a good idea to search for information about it on the Internet – this should give you a general idea if the process is a legitimate one from a regular program or from your OS or if it is indeed likely linked to the adware.

What is Trendlavida?
Unlike Ransomware, Viruses, Spyware and other malicious and illegal programs, the browser hijackers actually gain the user’s permission to get installed and if they do not get it, they usually can’t enter the system. However, the ways they usually acquire the user’s permission to get installed tend to be rather sneaky and covert. The most popular of those ways is the use of file-bundles – those are software installers with multiple installation elements in them. Usually, there is a main program in the bundle and some additional apps included as “bonus” components. Oftentimes, those components would be different toolbars for your browser, new homepages, custom search engines and so on. If you have recently installed some new program on your computer that has had a similar component in it, and if you haven’t unchecked the clause that allows the installation of that component, this is how you have likely landed Trendlavida Virus. The good news is that the removal of this annoyance and the changes that it has brought along shouldn’t be too difficult if you know what to do or if you have the proper instructions at hand. The removal guide we have prepared for our readers with this browser hijacker in their systems should be more than enough to solve this irritation. Remember, you aren’t dealing with a Virus like Trendlavida, Trustyable and Searchmenow.gg or a Ransomware infection such as .Neqp so there is no need to be overly concerned, just use the instructions and follow them to remove the hijacker.
