TaxCenterNow

Posted: April 13, 2018

TaxCenterNow is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Mindspark Interactive Network whose installation might seem like a good idea since it offers to help users find the correct tax forms and fill them out. While this is useful undoubtedly, you should keep in mind that there are plenty of online information sources that can provide you with the required paperwork and assistance without asking you to install dubious 3rd-party extensions.

Another justification of why you should stay away from TaxCenterNow is that it might diminish your Web browsing experience by coercing you to use an alternative new tab page powered by MyWay.com – an action that many of Mindspark's software products are known to perform. TaxCenterNow isn't any different, and its installation can only be completed if you agree to permit it to replace your Web browser's new tab.

The TaxCenterNow add-on can be obtained either from Taxcenternow.com or the add-on's official page on the Chrome Store page. Although the installation of this extension is not recommended, you can rest assured that it will not exhibit harmful behavior and the use of the TaxCenterNow add-on will not get you into trouble. However, if you have installed TaxCenterNow and you are not happy with the features and changes it brings, then we suggest that you proceed to remove it either manually or with the help of a trustworthy security tool.
