Microcosm New Tab is a dangerous browser plugin. This extension is guaranteed to cause you a headache. But why are you stuck with it? Chances are, you never agreed to add the Microcosm New Tab and yet, here it is. You’re dealing with this extension only because you’ve accidentally installed a PUP. The abbreviation stands for a “potentially unwanted program”. It is unwanted indeed. These infections have plenty of malicious potential. Hence, the virus is more than capable of causing you harm. For one thing, it makes unauthorized changes in your browsers. As mentioned, you didn’t voluntarily add the Microcosm New Tab. The parasite did it for you. This way, it effectively takes over your entire online experience. You are no longer in charge of your own browsers. Once the PUP lands on board, it starts making unauthorized changes and starts harassing you. Don’t be surprised when your browsers begin to redirect you. That is because they have a brand new extension added to them. The Microcosm New Tab won’t bring safe web links to you. It only generates sponsored, tailored, immensely unreliable pop-ups. That means you could wave surfing the Web goodbye right now. Thanks to the PUP, you get redirected to random, unknown, unreliable websites. Those might have nothing to do with your search queries. In addition, you now can’t get rid of pop-up ads. What you have to remember is that these ads are very dangerous. The advertisements are certainly not as safe as they appear to be. Quite the opposite. Hackers flood your PC screen with sponsored pop-ups in order to gain profit. Do you know how the pay-per-click mechanism works? All that crooks have to do is bombard your PC screen with sponsored ads. You do the rest by clicking the pop-ups open. Keep in mind that the web links displayed by the virus could be leading you to malware. Nothing the Microcosm New Tab brings to you is reliable. You have a nasty cyber infection on board. Make sure you remove it as soon as possible. This pest of a program also causes your browsers to freeze and/or crash occasionally. Even your Internet connection may become unstable all of a sudden. As if that wasn’t enough, the PUP is able to steal private data. That includes IP addresses, browsing history, usernames and passwords, email addresses. However, the virus may go one step further if you’re especially unlucky. It could spy on some personally identifiable details.

How did I get infected with Microcosm New Tab?

Nobody agrees to install an infection. Most parasites don’t even need your consent as they travel the Web in silence. For example, adware and PUPs usually get attached to program bundles. This is actually considered to be the most popular method to spread parasites online. Preventing installation is quite easy, though. Opt for the advanced or custom option in the Setup Wizard. Even though many people rush the installation, skipping steps is inadvisable. Take your time instead of installing a vicious parasite. Having to remove the intruder will surely take much more time and effort than preventing infiltration. Always watch out for potential bonuses hackers might have attached to the bundle. Bear in mind how secretive parasites could be and be cautious. You may not tend to read the Terms and Conditions either when installing programs. We would recommend that you check them out (or the End User License Agreement). This may seem like an unnecessary thing to do but it could protect your machine. It is your responsibility to keep your device infection-free so don’t risk installing dangerous programs. Crooks will not miss any opportunities to cause you damage.

Why is Microcosm New Tab dangerous?

Surfing the Internet isn’t fun anymore. You’re forced to deal with irritating pop-ups and random ads on a daily basis. The PUP is compatible with some of the most commonly used browsers out there. It makes modifications in all of them and adds the Microcosm New Tab. This program constantly generates sponsored, potentially harmful web links. It might generate fake program updates as well. Long story short, stay away from anything this pest of a program displays. Clicking isn’t a risk worth taking so be careful.
