Where does Easy Steps DIY Tab come from?
Easy Steps DIY Tab can be found on a web page called easystepsdiy.com and, at the moment, it is available on Chrome Web Store. It does not seem to be popular as currently there are only over one thousand users according to the Chrome Web Store’s provided information. Thus, we doubt that a lot of users would come across the extension’s homepage on their own. As lots of other potentially unwanted programs, the application could be promoted via pop-ups and advertisements. Also, it might be bundled with similar software. Such installers could be available on various doubtful file-sharing websites. Therefore, we advise against visiting such sites or clicking questionable pop-ups and ads if you do not want to receive software that might have undesirable qualities or could be unreliable.
How does Easy Steps DIY Tab work?
According to Easy Steps DIY Tab description, the tool “is here to supply you with a lot of very useful do it yourself projects and tutorials.” To provide such content the application might contain links to various websites that offer crafting tutorials and things alike. These links could be available on the extension’s website. As you see, the tool may replace your homepage and your default search engine with a page named search.easystepsdiytab.com. Our researchers say that even though search.easystepsdiytab.com has a search box it might be unable to display search results. To be more precise, we noticed that the website could redirect users to the Yahoo search engine. Moreover, it is likely that users could be redirected to a modified version of the Yahoo search engine, which means there is a possibility that its displayed search results could be injected with third-party ads.
Speaking of advertisements. The application’s search website might ask for permission to show notifications. If it is granted, Easy Steps DIY Tab could start showing you notifications on your screen. Researchers say that they may contain ads from unknown third parties, which is why some of them could be unreliable. Also, the extension may ask for permission to view your browsing history. It could help it gather information about your browsing habits and determine what interests you. Some companies use such information to create targeted ads, so it is possible that if the extension shows any ads, they might be tailored.
