The MyDrivingTab.com extension is a piece of software that promises to enable users to search maps and satellite images. On top of that, it says that it will inform users about the situation of the traffic and will provide them with driving directions. As you have probably understood, the MyDrivingTab.com extension is targeted at those who drive cars primarily. Many users believe every word written on the official website of this application, and they think that this extension is perfect (this also explains why there are a number of users who download it willingly). Unfortunately, research carried out by specialists working at 411-spyware.com has shown the opposite. It is clear that MyDrivingtab is not as beneficial as it claims to be. In addition, it is known that users who keep it installed on their PCs might experience privacy and security-related problems one day. You can, of course, prevent this from happening. All you need to do is to delete the MyDrivingTab.com extension. It will leave your Google Chrome alone only then.

It does not matter whether you download the MyDrivingTab.com extension from its official website lp.mydrivingtab.com, the Chrome Web Store, or it enters your system without permission because it acts the same in all the cases. First of all, it immediately sets the new search engine drivingtabsearch.com as the default search engine. Also, it modifies the settings of the New Tab page so that you could see the new search engine every time you open your browser. Many users do not think that there is something wrong to keep and use the search engine set by the MyDrivingTab.com extension because it looks like an ordinary search tool, and users do not even suspect that it might expose them to potential threats.

New research carried out by specialists at 411-spyware.com has shown that the main drawback of the search engine spread by MyDrivingtab is the presence of ads in the search results page. Undoubtedly, they appear there because the chances that users will click on them and end up on a third-party website are high. In other words, their main goal is to drive traffic to third-party sites. You need to be careful because one day you might be taken to some kind of website that belongs to cyber criminals and thus infect your PC with malware or, for example, lose your money. Not all the websites you will be taken to after clicking on an advertisement are bad, but it is really hard to say whether the website is harmless or not, so you should simply lower the risk of being taken to them by removing drivingtabsearch.com and starting to use a good search tool. To get rid of it, you need to remove the MyDrivingTab.com extension from the list of add-ons or simply disable it. If you do so, it could no longer gather information about you as well. Yes, it has been found that drivingtabsearch.com tends to collect information, especially non-personally identifiable details about users and their behavior on the web.

The MyDrivingTab.com extension can be downloaded from its official website, and it is known that users can get it from the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/driving/jdigjcbddplllkabeiadllgifopeipnl) too. On top of that, users might install it on their computers if they click on a particular pop-up advertisement promoting this software or open the software bundle it is spread in. It always acts the same no matter where you get it from. In addition, it always creates the folder jdigjcbddplllkabeiadllgifopeipnl in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions. If you can no longer find it after the deletion of the MyDrivingtab extension, it means that you have erased it successfully.

You will be allowed to set another homepage and search engine only if you delete the MyDrivingTab.com extension and thus get rid of drivingtabsearch.com it promotes. Therefore, you should eliminate it as soon as possible. If you do not find our instructions helpful, you should scan your PC with an automatic malware remover.
