Newtab.win is a peculiar search engine, which does not offer any distinguishable features, and it does not seem like a page that someone would prefer to use on a daily basis certainly. However, some users might end up having to use Newtab.win against their own will regularly. This can happen with the use of browser hijacking software whose purpose is to set Newtab.win as the default new tab page or homepage of popular Web browsers. Naturally, the software that does this might be disguised as a useful browser utility, which promises to expand the browser's feature, but the only meaningful change it brings is to add Newtab.win to the browser's configuration.

If you believe that a browser hijacker was installed on your computer and it is the reason why you keep seeing Newtab.win whenever you access a new tab, then you should not be too worried. Browser hijacking software is not unsafe, and it does not pose a threat to your privacy or your data. However, if you are not happy with having to use Newtab.win, then you should proceed to identify and remove the software, which included it in your Web browser's settings certainly.

The most convenient way to dispose of browser hijacking software is to use a suitable PC security utility since this guarantees the full removal of all the hijacker's components. However, sometimes, you might need to revert your browser's configuration manually after removing the hijacker.
