Probably someone out there thinks it is really funny to open your browser one day and see that your homepage was changed to Search.funmediatabsearch.com. Our research specialists say that this domain belongs to a browser hijacker, and so it means that your computer has been compromised. The infection probably entered your system when you downloaded some associated program. Thus, when you remove Search.funmediatabsearch.com from your PC, you also have to take care of the additional programs that might be slowing down your system. Do not hesitate to ask for help if you need any. Just leave a comment below this description.

The problem that we have with this hijacker is that it is directly associated with a browser extension call FunMediaTab. In other words, if users download this extension from its official homepage, it is very likely that the extension changes their browser’s settings automatically. This extension works on Chrome and Firefox, so if you use any of these two browsers, and you have recently added FunMediaTab to your list of extensions, do not be surprised to find your default homepage settings modified.

Of course, here you might say that it was never your intention to install Search.funmediatabsearch.com on your computer, and you have no idea how the tab and the hijacker managed to enter the system. Well, to figure that out we just need to take a look at the previously released applications that come from the same family of potential computer threats. We know that this browser hijacker is a direct descendent of Search.realcoolmoviessearch.com, Search.searchinsocial.com, Search.emaildefendsearch.com, and a few other programs that were not welcomed by users with great enthusiasm. Apart from having official homepages, these programs also got distributed in freeware bundles, so the same can be applied to this hijacker, too.

What does that entail? If you downloaded FunMediaTab in a software bundle, it obviously means that you have multiple adware and freeware applications installed on your computer, and most of them could be potentially harmful or annoying at the least. Thus, when you set down to remove Search.funmediatabsearch.com from your computer, you will also have to take care of a number of other programs that might be responsible for slowing down your PC, tracking your online activities, exposing you to potentially corrupted websites, and spamming you with random commercial advertisements. Does it sound familiar? If so, perhaps it is about time you scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner to find all the potential threats and remove them at once.

Luckily, it is not that hard to remove Search.funmediatabsearch.com on your own. You can simply reset your browser settings to default to get rid of the hijacker. We will also show you how to remove this extension from the Firefox browser. When the removal process is complete, get yourself a reliable computer security program that will watch over your system in the future. Also, staying away from unfamiliar websites would also be a good idea because quite often users download unwanted programs when they visit random file-sharing websites. If you must download a particular program, download it from its official website. And even so, be sure to read all the installation steps carefully. That will definitely lower the possibility of a browser hijacker attack.
