Betternewtabsearch.com is not very dangerous but still can cause you some unwanted problems. It operates as browser add-on and is compatible with all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

Even though it might look like legitimate search engine that works even better than Yahoo or Google, it is not true and we suggest not to use it. First of all, if you use Betternewtabsearch.com, a lot of sponsored results will appear. Usually those results are not relevant to your search queries, so you simply will waste your time this way. Moreover, it is not recommended to click on them because some malicious websites might hide behind them.

If it happens so that you click on the sponsored link on Betternewtabsearch.com search, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Betternewtabsearch.com also has some attributes of an adware. Once inside of your system it will display various ads on all of those web browsers. Ads displayed by Betternewtabsearch.com can come in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements.
