What is Meme Generator - MemeTab?
Meme Generator - MemeTab may seem like a good idea to have in your browser if you are a fan of quick laughs offered by memes, but we would advise you against it. Our malware experts have found that although this tool may work just fine as a meme creator, it may, at the same time, provide you with manipulated search results. What is even worse, it is quite possible that you do not even remember installing this potentially unwanted program (PUP). It can easily happen when you install a free software bundle, for instance, or click on the wrong third-party content expecting something else to happen. This also means that it is likely that you will find more serious threats on your computer than this PUP. Still, do not forget about the possibility that this tool can present to you potentially unreliable third-party ads and sponsored links, too. We suggest that you remove Meme Generator - MemeTab from your PC and eliminate all other possible threats as well.
Where does Meme Generator - MemeTab come from?
In all fairness, you can officially install this PUP on its website, memetab.com, as well as from the Chrome web store, chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/meme-generator-memetab/ffmpfnfeocophimbkabhamodpfpfhkik. But before you ever do so, let us tell you two simple bits of advice that can save you the unnecessary headache of having to delete Meme Generator - MemeTab and other similar tools. When you find a free tool you think would be great to have in your browser, we suggest that you always run a web search before installing it. You can easily find out this way that other users or malware researchers advise you to remove Meme Generator - MemeTab or whatever your target is. If you are dealing with a PUP or a malware threat, the first search results page will probably be filled with such articles telling you to be careful with it. The other tip is to read the reviews users leave on the Chrome web store page, but be wary of fake ones that sound way too positive about an obviously low-quality and potentially harmful tool.
But this PUP is not only distributed through these official channels. Unfortunately, it can also be found in free software bundles riding along possibly with other PUPs and malware infections like adware programs, browser hijackers, ransomware programs, Trojans, and more. Infecting your computer with such a lot can be rather detrimental to the health of your system. You could be exposed to multiple threats like malicious web content (unsafe third-party banner and pop-up ads) or end up redirected to malicious websites. This is why you should refrain from clicking on random third-party ads on suspicious websites and downloading free software or cracks from shady file-sharing websites. Please note that when your PC is infected with adware, for example, there is a much bigger chance that you will be exposed to unsafe third-party content while browsing the web. Therefore, we recommend that after you delete Meme Generator - MemeTab, you scan your PC with a reliable online malware scanner.
How does Meme Generator - MemeTab work?
Installing this PUP means that search.memetab.com is set as your homepage and new tab page in your Google Chrome browser. This tool does not seem to work in any other browser yet. This search page offers you a meme generator tool, which seems to be just fine and you can actually share your self-made memes on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter as well. Below this tool you may see third-party ads appearing, which is already a source of further system security issues since you have no guarantee that these ads are to be trusted or not. What if cyber crooks can use this tool to promote their malicious page? If you click on this ad, you could end up on a dangerous page and get scammed. And, the same can happen to you if you were to use this page for searching the web. All your keywords are forwarded to feed.memetab.com first and then to Yahoo. This is how you could be presented with manipulated search results containing questionable third-party ads and links promoting affiliates. This is the only way for this tool to generate income for its creators. If you do not want any further issues caused by this PUP, we recommend that you remove Meme Generator - MemeTab.
How can I delete Meme Generator - MemeTab?
