hello, geeks,
i wanted to ask why my homepage was replaced with 99tab.com. I used to be welcomed by google homepage after opening Chrome browser, but now I see 99tab instead of it. I am sure there’s something wrong with it. What is the best way to get rid of this page and use google again? I don’t want to touch browser settings because I am not that advanced.
The reason why your homepage was replaced with 99tab.com is that your computer was infected with a browser hijacker. Such programs do not belong to malware category - they are classified as "spyware." 99tab hijacker can collect some information that reveals some of your browsing activities and your general interests, and such information is typically used to deliver sponsored ads within search results. We do not recommend using this search tool because it pushes the search service to the user for only one purpose - to force the user to click on sponsored search results and cause redirects to vague third-party websites that might provide dangerous download links or other suspicious content. 2-Spyware experts recommend users to remove 99tab.com virus using anti-spyware programs or removal instructions presented in this article: 99tab.com virus.
