What is Utilitab Secure?
Whether you have downloaded Utilitab Secure from utilitab.com or the Chrome web store at chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps, you are dealing with the same potentially unwanted program that pretends to be a beneficial tool. Although this program is somewhat capable of performing the way it is supposed to, it is not the security tool you might be after. We are sure that this program is installed by those who are convinced that it will help browse more safely. Although this program offers a tool to screen URLs, this is as far as it will go with the protection of your virtual security. Do you still think that this program is beneficial? Anti-Spyware-101.com analysts believe that this PUP (short for “potentially unwanted program”) was created for other reasons than to protect you. If you are curious about this, and you want to learn how to delete Utilitab Secure, this is the report you need to read.
How does Utilitab Secure work?
According to our researchers, Utilitab Secure has several different tasks that users are unaware of. First of all, this program introduces users to search.utilitab.com. If you enter this keyword into the address bar, you will be automatically redirected to home.searchpile.com, a search tool that represents Google search results. However, if you enter search queries via the search tool attached to the extension, you will be redirected to Bing.com/search. Of course, this search provider is well-know and widely-used, but that does not mean that you are safe. Our research team warns that there is a great possibility that data regarding your virtual activity will be recorded while browsing any sites/pages that you might be redirected to. It is even possible that this information will be collected and sold to third-party advertisers to approach you with more appealing deals. It was found that ads might appear even when you visit the official download website, and they might appear when you click anywhere on this website, even the “close” button.
Utilitab Secure is capable of recording all kinds of information. Besides tracking your browsing history, it also can determine your physical location, modify the data on the sites you visit – which is extremely suspicious – and, as you know, modify your search tools. Whether you launch your browser, open a new tab, and use your default search engine, you will face search.utilitab.com, and we have already discussed why this search tool is unreliable. Besides all this, the suspicious PUP is also capable of communicating with the so-called “cooperating websites.” Unfortunately, these websites are not mentioned in the Privacy Policy, EULA, or elsewhere, which is why we do not know if they can be trusted. Overall, if this PUP comes packaged with advertising-supported programs, it is possible that he information collected will be used to show more attractive advertisements. Needless to say, if adware – or other kinds of unreliable software – enters your operating system, you need to remove it from your operating system as soon as possible.
