Malware analysts have noted that SolteraTop has all the characteristics of browser hijackers and adware, despite the fact that marketers promote SolteraTop as a useful tool for gaining access to certain online deals and discounts. There are several problems that may be related to SolteraTop:

  • SolteraTop may make unwanted changes to your Web browser settings, changing its homepage and default search engine. This ensures that computer users are exposed to content associated with SolteraTop as soon as they run the affected Web browser.
