Thebettertab.com virus - How to remove

Thebettertab.com leads to a visually very illuminating searching facility. It has everything that it might need to be considered high-quality: a beautiful transitional background, a search box, a clock in the top right corner and even a logo in the top left corner. The message above the search box welcomes every visitor: Nice to meet you! Below, there is a section with a famous quote, changing with every visit. At the time that we accessed this domain, we got one of the George Addair words: “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear”. As we have said, the elements of the homepage are well-made. If you enter search queries, you will get introduced to Seekit.com, which will generate the results to the entered key words. Some security researchers have noticed that Seekit.com has some of the features of browser hijackers: which means that it also cannot be 100% reliable. Despite being alluring, Thebettertab.com is considered to be a browser hijacker as well. Why? Because it causes redirects and can initiate modifications to users’ browsers without getting a proper consent. Thebettertab.com is created by BeeStripe LLC.

About Thebettertab.com Virus

We cannot say that Thebettertab.com does not have its perks: it allows you to create to-do lists, shows accurate time and date and claims to bring your browsing back to life with its visual aspects. However, even if it is kind of pleasant, Thebettertab.com virus can surprise you in a more negative way. We noticed that people indicated that they were introduced to this domain without giving any signs that they want to see it. Users’ browsing sessions were said to be interrupted. This also seemed to be a repetitive feature since it occurred more than once. If you ever get transferred to Thebettertab.com, question such phenomenon as it might be in indication that you involuntarily downloaded a browser hijacker.

Thebettertab.com virus is one of those infections that collect users’ names, geo locations, system time, technical info, email addresses. Therefore, it is categorised as PUP. This information will be stored for a solid amount of time or, as the creators indicate, as long as it seems fit. Of course, the external links, produced by this domain are said to be a separate matter and Thebettertab.com is not responsible for their condition or reputation.

In addition to this, we noticed that an encouragement to try out this search network is presented to users in a form of a pop-up. You can see a screenshot of Try.thebetter.tab pop-up below. You should not get lured to download this facility. Of course, we cannot say that Thebettertab.com is malicious or anything like that: the issue is that it might use strategic action to be distributed or feature external links that can lead to malware infections.

Distribution Methods of Thebettertab.com Virus

Thebettertab.com virus affects Google Chrome browser and it can be downloaded from its official website or Chrome webstore. Just like many other potentially unwanted programs, it can also come as a bundle.

If a random pop-up makes a suggestion, treat with caution and disregard it. Furthermore, it might be that Thebettertab.com virus can be a consequence of an installation process gone wrong. During Setup Wizards, you should always attempt to choose advanced/custom modes so no danger would arise from the possibility of installing more programs than you want.
