The suspicious FunCyberTab is very similar to Newtabtv, Videoplayertab, and many other extensions created by an Israel-based company, Imali N.I Media LTD. This company is also associated with such suspicious search providers as Search.funsecuritytabsearch.com, Search.mysafetabssearch.com, and many others. The fact that the same company has released hundreds of programs that are almost identical is worrisome because this suggests that quantity is more important than quality, and that, of course, cannot be beneficial for the user. Although FunCyberTab provides easy-access links to tools that supposedly can repair Windows errors, repair missing drives, test your Internet speed, and scan domains or files, it is not very beneficial. In fact, it seems that the main objective behind this extension is to introduce you to Search.funcybertabsearch.com. Although it looks like a regular search provider, we recommend deleting it for a reason.Search.funcybertabsearch.com Removal GuideSearch.funcybertabsearch.com screenshot

If you have interacted with the suspicious Search.funcybertabsearch.com already, you know that it redirects all search queries to the Yahoo Search engine. According to our research, this search tool redirects your searches via search.safefinder.com, which is a search provider that is often associated with hijackers. Because your search queries will be processed via this search engine, you are likely to be exposed to modified search results. So, even though you will be routed to the familiar Yahoo engine, the links shown to you might be unpredictable. In the worst case scenario, you will be exposed to malicious links routing to dangerous sites, as well as misleading offers and installers. On top of that, all of your search requests and virtual activity will be recorded and possibly leaked to third parties. Your personal information might be safe, but do you want unfamiliar advertisers using your browsing activity to create more attractive offers? Sure, this might be beneficial, but if malicious parties get this information, they could use it to scam you.

If you have downloaded Search.funcybertabsearch.com via a software bundle, other threats might be active as well. In this case, we strongly recommend using automated malware detection and removal software.

If you discover that you only need to delete Search.funcybertabsearch.com, follow the guide below. The guide shows how to erase unwanted extensions from Chrome and Firefox to eliminate this search tool. If it is activated on Internet Explorer, you might have to uninstall an app via Control Panel, but our research team has not found the FunCyberTab extension to be compatible with IE at the moment.
