About Search.funkytvtab.com Browser Hijacker

Search.funkytvtab.com is the name of the URL which will greet you every time you launch your web browser after this browser hijacker enters your computer’s system. The same URL hijacks your default homepage and even a new tab page. This is a typical misbehavior of rogue searches engines and it is also the feature which ascribes a program to the category of hijackware. Search.funkytvtab.com has been reported to affect Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari web browsers just to name the most widely used ones. It perfectly runs on Windows and Mac operating systems.

Search.funkytvtab.com browser extension replaces your search engine with its rogue one. This fake search provider redirects you to Yahoo in a new tab page. But do not get misled, these are not the authentic results of Yahoo Search. Even though there might be some legitimate websites rendered by Yahoo, the majority of them will be the questionable advertising domains of 3rd party which are popped to you by Search.funkytvtab.com. These sites are being referred to as ‘‘questionable’’ since they can be infected with malicious codes. This browser hijacker has the functionality of squeezing 3rd party advertisements into the legitimate websites. So if you happen to notice that you are on an authentic website, that alone does not mean that you are dwelling on a safe place.

As you can see, Search.funkytvtab.com brings about a lot of dirt. The whole of your computer’s system is being influenced. Precisely, your PC exhibits degraded capacity even in starting up and shutting down. This browser hijacker sows the seeds for the infiltration of other rogueware in general.
