Show Fanatic Removal Guide

Show Fanatic might seem like a harmless extension, but it is not an application you should easily trust. The software might modify specific browser settings, show third-party advertisements, or even connect to the Internet without your permission. As a result, the tool is considered to be a potentially unwanted program. Naturally, we would not advise you to install it, but if you already did, it is important to continue reading the article and get to know this threat better. Since our specialists advise to remove Show Fanatic as soon as possible, we are adding manual deletion steps below this report too. Thus, if you need any help while eliminating the potentially unwanted program, feel free to slide below the text and follow our recommended steps.

At the moment the extension is available only for Google Chrome users. According to our specialists, it might be distributed not only through Google Chrome Web Store, but also with doubtful pop-ups ads and bundled setup files. Such sources could advertise the application as “The Must-Have Chrome New Tab for TV and Movie Fans!” Moreover, the ads promoting the tool could say something like “find and watch trailers online.” Therefore, it might look like if you search for particular information about a movie you like the tool could show you better results than regular search engines, for example, google.com, yahoo.com, etc.

Sadly, after you install Show Fanatic, you might see that the only thing related to movies about it is the background picture behind the provided search box. The potentially unwanted program does not show only results with movie trailers, descriptions, and so on. To put it other words, the results you get depend on the used keywords, for example, if you are looking for a recipe then this is what you will probably get. The bad news is that among the results users might also find unreliable third-party advertisements. As our specialists report, such ads may originate from potentially malicious web pages, for example, sites that could try to steal user’s personal information or convince him to download threats alike, adware, browser hijackers, or even malicious applications like Trojans, worms, etc.

As you realize, if you keep Show Fanatic as the new tab page and continue searching the Internet with its provided tools, you may come across harmful content that could endanger the system. Of course, if you do not want to take any chances, you can eliminate the potentially unwanted program at once and avoid the risks arising from its usage. In order to erase it manually, users should remove the extension through Google Chrome settings. If you need detailed instructions, just have a look at the steps placed below this paragraph.

In addition, we would advise users to install a reliable antimalware tool and scan the computer to make sure Show Fanatic was successfully deleted and to check if there are no other threats. By doing so you would make the system less vulnerable as well, so if you ever considered downloading antimalware software, it might be a good opportunity to do so.
