Even though Funtabcybersearch.com might be set after users install a browser add-on on their PCs, it is known that it might also be set on browsers without permission, so it is usually called a browser hijacker by specialists. Of course, this search tool should be erased from browsers not only because of that. Research recently carried out by our experts has revealed that Funtabcybersearch.com might show the sponsored search results. In other words, it might show search results whose one and only purpose is to promote third-party websites and lead as many users as possible to them. The developer of Funtabcybersearch.com, most probably, gets money for this activity, but, of course, users do not get anything out of this. Instead, they might end up on a third-party website containing untrustworthy software and thus badly contaminate their computers. This is one of the main reasons specialists do not recommend keeping Funtabcybersearch.com and using it as a default search provider. Unfortunately, it is not the only one.

Even though Funtabcybersearch.com does look like a reputable search provider and contains the so-called quick access buttons leading to useful websites (e.g. a website to test the Internet connection bandwidth), specialists do not think that it can be called a trustworthy search provider. As has already been mentioned, it is because it shows the sponsored search results that might take to bad third-party websites. On top of that, it has been found that it records information about users. Specialists have found out after reading its Privacy Policy that it is going to collect such details as IP address, the type of browser, search data, and the so-called demographic information, encompassing a bunch of different details. Also, it is said there that the personal information might be collected “at various times.” Of course, it is going to share this information with third parties, which means that users who keep this search tool and use it as a default search engine might experience problems related to the privacy too. You will be safe only after the full removal of this browser hijacker, so do this as soon as possible.Funtabcybersearch.com Removal GuideFuntabcybersearch.com screenshot
