MyDrivingTab.com

Have you opened your Google Chrome browser and immediately noticed a new search engine set? If so, it means that the MyDrivingtab.com extension is installed. There are two ways how it could have entered your system. First, you have downloaded it willingly from lp.mydrivingtab.com or the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/driving/jdigjcbddplllkabeiadllgifopeipnl), or it has entered the system in a software bundle together with other applications. We do not blame users who download the MyDrivingtab extension willingly because it really looks like a beneficial piece of software at first glance. If you check any of its official sources, you will immediately notice that it makes many promises, for example, it is said that users could easily search maps, satellite images, and get driving directions if they install it. On top of that, MyDrivingtab promises to help users avoid heavy traffic. It becomes clear sooner or later that the software is not as beneficial as it claims to be. If you have understood that too and no longer want to keep the questionable extension installed, you need to remove it right now. Before you do that, we suggest reading this article as you might find useful tips here. Read more »

TheSearch.net

As you might have witnessed for yourself, TheSearch.net is not a highly functional search provider. Although it searches for the information you are looking for, it does not offer any specific search tools, and it does not show many useful search results. Instead, this strange search provider showcases more advertisements identified by the “Ad” tag than regular search results. Even though we do not claim that all of the sponsored links represented via this search engine are malicious, you need to keep in mind that the content represented via them might be unpredictable and misleading. This is the main reason why we do not recommend interacting with this search tool even if you have installed it yourself. Instead, we recommend deleting TheSearch.net from your browsers, and you can learn how to do that by reading this report. Read more »
