Where does TicnoTabs come from?

TicnoTabs has an official website via ticno.com, and if you download any application that is available on the page, TicnoTabs will be installed on your computer as well. It is obviously very annoying and intrusive. On top of that, our research shows that this application gets installed on your computer silently. This means that TicnoTabs does not notify you that it is about to be set up on your system.

Apart from the main homepage, we shouldn’t forget that such applications can be easily distributed bundled with freeware programs. That is why users are always encouraged to steer clear of the torrent and other file sharing websites. Applications like TicnoTabs can be included in software packages that are available from such sites. The problem is that users seldom pay attention to what exactly they install on their computers. They don’t read the installation wizard steps and, as a result, TicnoTabs and other unwanted applications find their way in.

What does TicnoTabs do?

TicnoTabs is compatible with all the major browsers. As one can clearly tell from the name of the application, TicnoTabs creates a new tab function on your default browser.

When this program is installed, it modifies the “New Tab” feature, and then, each time you open your browser, the Ticno Tabs bar appears on your screen. This bar displays commercial advertisements and promotes online gaming websites. Such promotional activity slows down your browser and exposes you to unreliable third-party content.

TicnoTabs does not distribute malicious programs per se, but its promotional banner could be exploited by malevolent third parties. In general, potentially unwanted programs are highly vulnerable, and they could be easily misused by cyber criminals to distribute adware and malware. Thus, it is in your best interests to remove TicnoTabs from your system as soon as possible.

How do I remove TicnoTabs?

Since TicnoTabs is not a malicious computer infection, it is not challenging to delete it on your own. All you have to do is open Control Panel and uninstall from the list of programs. Take note that there might be more unfamiliar applications on the list, so you should terminate them as well.

To check whether you have deleted all the unnecessary (and potentially dangerous!) applications, you should scan your computer with the SpyHunter free scanner. This way you will be able to ensure your system’s safety.
