How does TabNewSearch.com work?
TabNewSearch.com is the property of Discover Browser Media, and it is very likely that this hijacker will be downloaded onto your computer along with other programs associated with this company. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have found that the Privacy link represented by the hijacker redirects users to getdownloadboss.com/privacy/index.html. This Privacy Policy represents a potentially unwanted program called “DownloadBoss.” Unsurprisingly, this PUP was created by Discover Browser Media as well. According to our research, this PUP comes packaged with the Searchnewtab.com hijacker that we also advise removing. All in all, it is possible that, in the future, this program will introduce its users to TabNewSearch.com. We have seen this hijacker being bundled with Install Assistant available at downloadwrap.com; however, this program is no longer active. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know which other suspicious programs this hijacker will be packaged with. On top of that, these programs might travel in software bundles, and all kinds of unreliable and undesirable programs could slither in along with them.
Depending on the program installing TabNewSearch.com, you might have a different experience. For example, Install Assistant used this hijacker to redirect users to Bing Search and show sponsored results without them realizing it. This search tool is also capable of providing “authentic” services by serving its own search results. Of course, these results include advertisements and sponsored links as well, which is why we do not classify it as a reliable search provider. Like most search tools, this one collects information about its users with the assistance of tracking cookies. The data recorded by them can be shared with unknown parties that Discover Browser Media is associated with it. What is more, third-party cookies could be installed along with this hijacker. It is one thing to deal the cookies of a hijacker, but it is different when it comes to third-party cookies because it might be more difficult to analyze them. Although cookies can be easily removed, not all users know where to look for them or even how to identify the unreliable ones. Due to the potential existence of unreliable cookies, we advise resetting Chrome. If you choose a different method, keep these cookies in mind, and eliminate them as soon as possible.

The guide shown below explains how to reset the Google Chrome browsers, and we recommend this method because it ensures the removal of TabNewSearch.com as well as the cookies that might come bundled with it. Of course, this is not the best method if you are dealing with other infections.
