Do you know what Search.funmediatabsearch.com is?
Search.funmediatabsearch.com is a search engine that is closely associated with the browser extension promoted at funmediatab.com. This extension really seems to be useful at first glance. If you enter its official website, you will immediately notice that it promises to enable users to watch TV, including shows and live sports on the computer. Also, it is said that users will get links to watch TV shows legally As this product of Imali Media makes so many promises, users believe that it can be trusted and is very useful, so they decide to install the browser extension. It is known that the FunMediaTab extension can also enter computers without permission; however, it is not the most important thing how it appears on the system because both versions (the one that is available for download on the official website and the one that enters computers without permission) act the same and need to be removed from the system if you wish to set a more trustworthy search provider instead of Search.funmediatabsearch.com. If you get rid of the browser extension, you will be able to change such settings as the homepage, default search engine, and the New Tab page of your Mozilla Firefox browser. Yes, only this browser will be affected by Search.funmediatabsearch.com.
At first, it might really seem that Search.funmediatabsearch.com is an ordinary search engine. It has the search box, and its quick access buttons really lead to Facebook, Gmail, Instagram, YouTube, IMDb, and other popular places. Despite these features, specialists call this search engine untrustworthy and suggest that users get rid of it ASAP. If you do that, you could start using a more trustworthy search engine. We cannot call Search.funmediatabsearch.com a reliable search provider even though it seems to be quite trustworthy because, as recent research has shown, it displays the modified search results for users. The search results are modified when they contain advertisements and sponsored links that are capable of redirecting users to third-party websites. These modified search results make it more difficult for users to find the relevant information on the web as well.

The presence of the modified search results is not the only drawback of Search.funmediatabsearch.com. It has been found out that this search engine also gathers information about users. We have inspected the Privacy Policy document and found that it will “collect and use the data contained in log files.” This data includes IP address, type of browser, the time you opened the site and, finally, which websites you accessed through it. Unfortunately, Search.funmediatabsearch.com is going to record personal information too: “we may collect personal information at various times when you use our website or plugin.” You have two options: you can let it stay and allow it to acts the way it does, or you can delete Search.funmediatabsearch.com from all your browsers.

Even though the official website of the FunMediaTab extension exists, and it can be easily downloaded from there, there are hundreds of users who complain that it has sneaked onto their computers without permission, so our team of specialists has decided to find out more information about the distribution of this extension. Research has shown that it might travel in software bundles as well. Also, users might see a pop-up on their screens offering to install it. These pop-ups are shown when users enter bad websites; however, there is also a possibility that there is an ad-supported program installed on the infected computer as well. Adware programs need to be erased from the system ASAP as well because they are not trustworthy either. Find out whether or not you have adware on your computer by scanning the system with a reliable diagnostic scanner.
