New Tab Theme Buddy

The New Tab Theme Buddy is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) promising to grant users the ability to customize their new tab page with cool themes and wallpapers. However, it may try to hide the fact that the New Tab Theme Buddy's installation has one mandatory requirement – the users must allow the add-on to control their default new tab page. Once this permission is given, the PUP will introduce the website Search.searchworm.com as the default search page. This minor change is not unsafe, but it can be annoying to deal with since this search engine does not deliver reliable results.

PUPs like New Tab Theme Buddy are not harmful, and removing them is not mandatory. However, if you believe New Tab Theme Buddy was installed automatically, you should remove it as soon as possible. You can do this by running a suitable PC security tool, discovering and eradicating New Tab Theme Buddy's components. Once the PUP is removed, your browser's settings should be back to normal.
