What is Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com?
Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com is an Internet search engine that should become set on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox after the installation of a browser extension TVPlusNewtab. For the time being, Mozilla Firefox blocks this extension, so users might see a new homepage and New Tab URL on Google Chrome only. Not all the people get surprised when they find Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com set on their browsers because some of them install the add-on from tvplusnewtab.com willingly expecting to be able to watch favorite TV shows, live sports, movies, etc. legally. Also, users believe that they could access streaming websites with the click of a button and their search experience will be enhanced. In other words, they believe what it is written on the official website of this extension. Of course, there are a number of users who cannot explain why their browsers’ settings have been modified and they see a new search provider set as well, which shows that TVPlusNewtab might be distributed in a different way too. Users who feel that unauthorized changes have been applied to their browsers should go to get rid of this browser extension ASAP to get Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com removed. For now, it is the only way to make it gone.
What does Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com do?
Users who willingly install the TVPlusNewtab browser extension should think twice too before keeping it enabled in the future. It is because it is not as useful as it claims to be, and, as has been found by researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com, the search engine, i.e. Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com, it sets might be quite dangerous. Even though users are told that they could watch videos legally and access streaming websites quickly, the truth is that they will only see quick access buttons at the top of Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com. They redirect to IMDB.com, Netflix.com, YouTube.com, and other popular websites that can be opened easily by simply entering their URLs in the address bar. Specialists cannot say anything very positive about the search tool promoted by TVPlusNewtab as well. Yes, it returns search results and seems to be decent at first glance; however, it has been revealed that this search provider might display the so-called sponsored search results next to reputable Yahoo! search results opened for users after they enter any search query. It is better not to click on such search results because they might promote unreliable websites too, meaning that a redirection to such a website will immediately happen. Users might allow undesirable software to enter their PCs by visiting an untrustworthy webpage only once. In fact, the presence of these promotional links is not the only problem associated with Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com. Researchers suggest getting rid of it also because they have found that this search tool might also record personal information. It, at least, does not try to hide this fact like other suspicious search tools do: “We may collect personal information at various times when you use our website or plugin” (taken from the Privacy Policy).
Where does Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com come from?
As you should know by now, the undesirable search tool Search.tvplusnewtabsearch.com has been set on browsers after the installation of the browser extension TVPlusNewtab. This browser extension can be downloaded and installed from its official website tvplusnewtab.com or might be spread in software bundles with free applications, e.g. PDF converters, video players, and other tools which users often find useful. Users usually get these bundles from such websites as descargar.es and malavida.es. The TVPlusNewtab extension is presented in these bundles as an additional offer, meaning that users have a right not to agree to its installation. Unfortunately, they often do not know anything about the installation of additional software next to freeware since they install new software so quickly and do not check the Terms of Use, End User License Agreement, and other important documents before doing that.
