NewTabTV Plus by Imali Media Ltd. is an application that may cause you quite some issues during your browsing sessions. This program comes as a web toolbar, which you may notice in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The experts have enough reasons to label NewTabTV Plus as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). The first reason concerns the delivery mechanism. It is true that you can download it from its official site, but it also travels bundled with freeware. This tactic can be pretty misleading because unless you read the details carefully, you may agree to install NewTabTV Plus without knowing. The second reason for this classification is the gap between the offered functions and the actual performance. This toolbar promises to allow its clients to watch their favorite shows, movies and live sports for free. However, all it does is redirect you to third-party platforms, which will demand you to register for these services. It goes without saying that you don't need the help of NewTabTV Plus to enter these sites. The PUP causes various modifications that may annoy you. It changes the default homepage with search.newtabtvsearch.com, which tries to redirect you towards partner sites. In addition, NewTabTV Plus generates advertising pop-ups, banners and videos, which may lead to a drop in the performance of the web clients. These commercial materials may be pretty accurate because they are related to the browsing history, but you should proceed with caution. They may transfer you to unsafe sites, so you should avoid them. It is possible to experience some errors if you try to delete NewTabTV Plus from the Control Panel, so you should consider using a special security application.
