Do you know what TuneJunkies New Tab is?

You might think that TuneJunkies New Tab has something to do with music, but you would be wrong. It all has to do with generating revenue from promoting certain websites.

Upon installation, TuneJunkies New Tab will automatically change your browser’s homepage and new tab page to a modified Ask.com search engine. Our researchers have classified TuneJunkies New Tab as a potentially unwanted program. If you have accidentally installed this program and want to get rid of it, then you have come to the right website. You can find removal instructions at the bottom of this article.

TuneJunkies New Tab was developed by an unreliable software developer called APN. This developer has also released a clone program called WorldSport New Tab. This clone is almost identical to TuneJunkies New Tab. The only thing that differs between the two is the promoted websites. We do not think that the owners of the promoted websites are aware that these programs are sponsoring them. This program’s main purpose, however, is to generate web traffic to the modified Ask.com search engine.TuneJunkies New Tab Removal GuideTuneJunkies New Tab screenshot
