Try to perform a search on Search.fulltabsearch.com search engine and you will be redirected to bing.com in a new tab page. It may be surprising for you, but it is a typical behavior of browser hijackers released by Imali Media. At this point you may get confused. So what is Search.fulltabsearch.com, anyway? A search engine or a browser hijacker? The answer is – both. Well, in fact, more the second than the first. This program can only be regarded as a fake search engine since it only has the main page of a search provider but it does not send out any spiders nor does it create any indexers to fetch you as many relevant results as possible, it simply exploits Bing Search for that purpose. Search.fulltabsearch.com app is a browser hijacker since it steals your default homepage, search engine and a new tab page.

Search.fulltabsearch.com program is a rogue program as well. Bing search provider is exploited in a way that its websites rendered are made useless by the scam ads of 3rd party which seem to be strewn all over them. Additionally, the authentic results by Bing are bordered with the entire scam sites of 3rd party. Search.fulltabsearch.com does not rely upon your accidental clicking on these scam ads. Thus, it utilizes cookies to track your virtual journeys, records them and make them known to 3rd party. As a consequence, you are presented with personalized offers. It is better to avoid them since following the traffic they reroute you to can end up in viral infection, even such as ransomware infiltration.
