Ttessab is a browser extension which comes packaged with other advertisement supported applications, potentially undesirable programs (PUP) and maybe even malware. The application has been developed by SuperWeb and it comes from the same family of adware as BrowseMark, Mega Browse or Laflurla.

Needless to say, this activity could lead to serious security issues, and so you should make sure that all potentially dangerous applications are deleted in time. Read more »
