Mojotab.com virus - How to remove

Mojotab.com website looks attractive – charming background picture, user friendly interference and additional, useful features. However, some bad vibes hides behind this nice look. First of all, we would like to mention the deceptive way this website is set as a homepage and default search engine on various web browsers.

Mojotab.com is set as a homepage and default search engine/ new tab page automatically, without notifying user about that. It’s because of malicious add-on, which can get installed on your web browser. This particular add-on is distributed bundled with other free software that you can download from the Internet. When you install some freeware, you might get asked to add some tools to your web browser. Besides, those options usually come as default, so if you don’t make any changes, add-on like MojoTab will be automatically installed.

Once installed, it might be difficult to get rid of. That’s, perhaps, why you are here. In this article-tutorial we will explain the purpose of browser hijackers to you and present best possible ways to remove Mojotab.com.

Why you should remove Mojotab.com?

As defined by Techopedia, Browser hijacker is “spy or malware, commonly available as a Web browser add-on, that changes a Web user’s browser settings in order to change the default home, error or search page. It may redirect the user to unwanted websites while capturing sensitive private data for personal or business gain. When a browser hijacker is not removed, the infected Web browser may default to the malware browser settings after every reboot, even if the settings are manually readjusted”. So basically it is a special kind of browser add-ons that were developed specifically to promote certain websites, build audience and make money this way.

While some users might be completely OK with changed homepage (they might even like it), you should not keep it installed and we have several points to prove it:

• Unreliable results. Homepage is the place where you begin web surfing, and most of the time its done by searching for something. That means one of the most important qualities you should look for in convenient homepages is search experience. Search provided by MojoTab.com can’t be considered as reliable, because they are using customised Google search. That means they can infiltrate various results they want you to see and get paid for that. Keeping in mind that Mojotab.com is a project developed by crooks, you should never trust those results.
• Additional tracking. Most of the websites on the internet are using cookies and keeping a track of their users, in order to remember various settings and adjust content to the personal interests of every single user. However, if you let Mojotab to track you, recorded information can end up in the hands of various third parties and that’s dangerous.
• Infection risk. If one malicious add-on is operating on your web browser, others can find a way to infect your system as well. It can be done with a help of Mojotab, as this malware might infiltrate other unwanted tools to your computer.

Usually browser hijackers don’t try to impress users with their websites too much – take a look at luckypage123.com or Spicystart.com. In this case, mojotab.com is featuring some additional functions that can actually come useful, as this minimalistic to-do list:

However, that’s about it. There are no other useful features by this website, therefore the answer is clear – remove it as soon as possible.

Uninstalling Mojotab.com
