As most of malware of this type, SpiralsTab.com is operating as browser add-on. It is compatible with all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer or even Safari.

Once installed, this malware will change both homepage and default search engine to www.SpiralsTab.com so from now on, every time you open a web browser, this website will be the first thing you see.

In addition to that, it might be dangerous to click on those results.

This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt tot purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

SpiralsTab.com might infect your computer when you download and install some free PDF generator or media player from unreliable website. That’s because it is traveling bundled with freeware. This being said, if you want to avoid infections like this, you should always be very attentive while installing freeware on your computer.
