NewTabTV (also searched for as NewTabTV virus) is an adware type browser hijacker that changes your search engine and new browser tab to search.newtabtvsearch.com. Once the NewTabTV extension has attached to an affected internet browser it will immediately change existing internet browser settings, which causes affected internet browsers to start-up and redirect to search.newtabtvsearch.com when you open a new browser window, open a new browser tab, or use the address bar to search the web.

What is NewTabTV?

NewTabTV is promoted as a browser extension that allows you to “override the new tab and default search with search.newtabtvsearch.com and add links to your favorite media sites.” NewTabTV is typically advertised on media related websites, including file sharing websites and torrent websites. It is frequently and deceptively promoted as a free media player, media player update, or object that is necessary to view or download media related content online.

The NewTabTV extension for Google Chrome and other internet browsers will change existing settings, which causes browser redirects to search.newtabtv.com and other webpages. Search.newtabtvsearch.com is a sponsored search engine that displays sponsored search results, which generates revenue for NewTabTV.

NewTabTV can also be introduced to an affected internet browser without user knowledge. It can automatically attach itself to Google Chrome browser alongside other unwanted programs and adware type browser extensions. Not only can NewTabTV be responsible for unwanted browser redirects, the browser extension may be associated with pop-up advertisements. If you find NewTabTV attached to your internet browser you may experience unwanted browser redirects and may become bombarded with intrusive pop-up ads that generate content based off of your browser bookmarks, browser history, and other personal browsing data.

NewTabTV is not technically defined as a computer virus but this adware type browser hijacker is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove NewTabTV if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files.
