AmazingTab Removal Guide

AmazingTab is a Chrome extension that modifies the startup and the home page options. Instead of replacing your regular startup and homepage tools as a browser hijacker would, it simply changes the settings so that New Tab would be opened instead of your regular homepage. Of course, some users are intimidated by this change, and they choose to delete AmazingTab thinking it is a serious infection. Although we recommend removing this program, we do not classify it as a threat. Instead, our researchers identify it as a potentially unwanted program. Although this PUP looks harmless, there are certain things you need to consider before you decide whether or not you want to delete it from your Google Chrome browser.

Whether you install the suspicious AmazingTab from its download page, amazingtab.com, or from Chrome web store, chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amazingtab/edfhabmbbhdcdpnoilchepfojmdeannd, you are informed about its privileges. We have found that AmazingTab can read and change your bookmarks, your browsing history, your “data on the websites you visit,” and existing plugins. Needless to say, this makes the PUP quite intrusive, and we believe that it is wise to remove it simply because of that. Our researchers warn that this program could potentially collect sensitive and confidential information as well, which is something you need to keep in mind. Another reason we recommend removing AmazingTab is the advertising it initiates. If you do not delete this program, it is likely to inject advertisements, and they could represent the products or services of parties you cannot trust.

Unfortunately, it was found that AmazingTab could be introduced via software bundles representing malware. Malicious installers are usually set up by cyber criminals to alleviate the distribution of computer infections. The mistake that users often make is when they think that if malware is not visible, it does not exist. In reality, malicious programs could be concealed, which makes the removal much more complicated. Third-part malware could be introduced to you via malicious ads as well. We do not know for sure whether or not the advertisements displayed by this PUP can be malicious, but because the advertising companies associated with AmazingTab are unknown, we need to consider the encounters with misleading ads. If you do not want to be taking any of these risks, you should remove the PUP as soon as you can.

Although AmazingTab promises to organize links, customize your wallpapers, and recommend apps, we suggest deleting this potentially unwanted program as soon as possible. Because this PUP is operated as a browser extension, the instructions below show how to remove unwanted Chrome extensions. These instructions will also help you change the startup and homepage tools that are now set to introduce the New Tab, which is AmazingTab. Follow the steps introduced to you, and we are sure that your Chrome browser will be back to normal in no time. What if you need to remove AmazingTab-related infections? If you wish to eliminate them manually, you need to identify, research, and remove every single threat found individually. If you would rather have the situation handled for you quickly, it is high time you installed an automated malware removal tool you can trust.
