What is TrendsTab.com?
TrendsTab.com is the address of the official website of the TrendsTab extension that should help users to “find out what’s trending today.” TrendsTab.com is also the address of the search engine that will appear to you when you open your New Tab page after the installation of the extension. We would like to focus on this questionable search engine in this article because it has been found that it might put systems into danger shortly. We will not only provide more information about TrendsTab.com (search.trendstab.com), but we will also talk about its deletion in a detailed way, so if you do not wish to see the presence of this page every time you open your browser’s New Tab, you should read the article and then immediately go for its removal. We are sure that it will not be difficult to eliminate it yourself after reading through the article.
What does TrendsTab.com do?
First of all, let us explain to you why we cannot call the TrendsTab.com search engine a trustworthy search tool. Researchers have tested this search engine thoroughly and found that it will redirect all the searches from search.tendstab.com to search.us.com, which means that search results might be modified along the way. In other words, there is a possibility that advertisements will be put together with them. Of course, users will not know that, so there is a huge possibility that they will click on these ads. Users are also informed about that in the Privacy Policy document available on the official website of the TrendsTab extension: “Such Third Party Content also may include advertising, or advertising-supported search results, which will be displayed to you if you use the search box or click on trending terms.” Unfortunately, this means that they might be taken to an unreliable third-party website containing malware. Yes, as you can see, there is a huge possibility to allow malware to enter the system by keeping and using TrendsTab.com as the main tool for searching the web. To be honest, it is not surprising at all that the search engine associated with the TrendsTab extension is not the most trustworthy one because it is similar to Trendio.net, and the extension itself belongs to the SuperWeb family.
Where does TrendsTab.com come from?
As you already know, TrendsTab.com is closely associated with the extension TrendsTab. It should keep users informed about the trending things. As it seems to be quite useful, many users download and install it on their systems willingly. In most cases, they download the extension from trendstab.com or the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trendstab/fnjbpdhhdalaalamiieicdjiflbikbdk). At the time of writing, there are not many users who have downloaded this extension from the Chrome Web Store; however, the situation might change in the future. Of course, not all the users download and install this extension willingly. According to specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, the TrendsTab extension might enter systems bundled with free software as well. This would explain why there is a bunch of users who do not even suspect how and when this piece of software has been installed.
Other untrustworthy extensions exist on the web too, and they might enter your PC again without permission. Of course, you can prevent this from happening rather easily. You only need to do two things. First of all, it is advisable to install a reputable security tool if you still do not have one on your computer. Secondly, it is very important to be careful on the web, i.e. do not click on questionable links and advertisements, download software from trustworthy sources only, and do not visit suspicious sites.
How to delete TrendsTab.com
