MyDrivingTab is software that you may not wish to install on your PC. MyDrivingTab is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that displays some adware features.

MyDrivingTab also may affect your browsers in a negative way. The application may create a toolbar in each of the available Web clients, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The unreliable software also may change the new tab screen, default search provider and homepage. MyDrivingTab may promote a shady search provider that displays loads of ads to make you visit its partner sites.

MyDrivingTab also may turn some words into hyperlinks, which you can distinguish from the other text by the double underlining. In some cases, MyDrivingTab may even transfer you towards affiliated sites automatically. The developers of this tool receive commissions for their service, but you may not benefit from this activity like them. Some of the promoted pages may be unsafe.
