What is 30Tab Safe Navigation?
30Tab Safe Navigation may appear in your browsers as your new homepage and present to you potentially risky third-party advertisements and links. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this a browser hijacker that is very similar to Search.mpc.am. Since we have not found any official website that promote this search page as a standalone browser extension or application, it is quite likely that it may sneak onto your computer under questionable and deceitful circumstances, such as in a bundled version. Unfortunately, this also means that there could be several other malicious threats as well as potentially unwanted programs on board right now. This could seriously increase the vulnerability of your system. This is why we believe that you should remove 30Tab Safe Navigation from your computer if you want to feel safe in your virtual world without becoming paranoid.
Where does 30Tab Safe Navigation come from?
As we have mentioned, you cannot install this search page as a browser extension from official sources. This leaves us but with one option only: It has to spread in alternative ways. Unfortunately, this also means that you may install it when installing a software bundle you may have downloaded from a questionable source like a suspicious torrent or freeware page. You need to be very careful whenever you are installing a bundle, let alone one that you download from torrent or freeware pages. We recommend that you only use official and reputable pages if you want to download free software.
You can also download a bundle containing this browser hijacker if you click on a third-party pop-up advertisement claiming that you need a plugin or software installed, otherwise you cannot see certain content or your system would be at risk. A lot of users fall for such tricks and infect their computer with malicious bundles behind their back. Yet another way to let this browser hijacker on board in a software package is to visit suspicious websites that promote several unsafe third-party ads. But these ads may not even look like commercials as they can be disguised as buttons like download or navigational buttons, or system notifications. If you are not familiar with the website you land on, there is a good chance that you will click on such content even accidentally and infect your computer. This is why we suggest that after you delete 30Tab Safe Navigation, you also scan your computer with a trustworthy online malware scanner to find all other potentially harmful programs as well.
How does 30Tab Safe Navigation work?
This browser hijacker sets 30Tab.com as your new homepage and can affect all your main browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox. This search page has a panel of quick links below the search field, which lead to popular websites in six categories, such as social networking, news, video, and, of course, an advertisement inserted. There is also another space for third-party ads on this search page, which alone would make it risky since there is no guarantee that the displayed ads are actually from reliable sources. Thus, one click can cause further infections on your system and you can also end up on malicious websites by way of redirection. This should be just enough for you to remove 30Tab Safe Navigation but there is more.

Again, these can come from questionable third parties who may well be cyber crooks. If you engage with such content, you could let other malware infections on board or end up being scammed by cyber criminals on malicious pages. If you want to protect your computer, it is time to act. Remove 30Tab Safe Navigation from your browsers as soon as possible.
