Breaking News Plus

Many users rely on browser add-ons to provide them with the latest news updates they are interested in reading. However, if you are looking for such an extension to add to your Web browser, you should be very careful about the options you take. There are many browser add-ons that pose as great suppliers of news updates when, in reality, all they do is to redirect you to 3rd-party news websites. Their primary goal is to force you to use an alternative homepage or new tab page that generates revenue for the publisher of the add-on in question. One extension that uses such a shady strategy is Breaking News Plus, and it is not a surprise that reputable anti-virus products classify it as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.)

Users who attempt to install Breaking News Plus may realize quickly that it is impossible to complete the process without allowing Breaking News Plus to replace their default new tab page with Search.hbreakingnewsplus.com or Query.hbreakingnewsplus.com, the two websites that Breaking News Plus is designed to promote.

Needless to say, the authors of Breaking News Plus have no intention to help their users and, instead, their primary goal is to generate revenue for themselves. If you have installed this extension, you should remove it immediately with the use of a reliable computer security tool.
