Posted: August 7, 2018

The TV Guru New Tab Extension is meant to help users find entertainment online by providing them with advice, news, and updates when it comes to their favorite TV series and movies. While this add-on might sound like a useful tool to have at your disposal, you should know that malware researchers have determined the TV Guru New Tab Extension to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation also might bring undesired changes to your Web browser's behavior.

If you opt to install the TV Guru New Tab Extension, then you should be prepared to permit the add-on to replace your Web browser's default new tab page. It seems that the company behind TV Guru New Tab Extension, Olympus Way Ltd., is associated with the Mysearch.com search engines since this is the website that will be set as your default new tab page. While this change is not threatening, some users are likely to find it annoying since Mysearch.com is certainly not as credible as reputable search aggregators like Yahoo, Google, Bing and others.

The good news is that the TV Guru New Tab Extension's removal is usually enough to reverse the changes that this add-on has applied. To remove it, you should either use the Google Chrome's add-on manager or run a 3rd-party PC security utility that will identify and remove TV Guru New Tab Extension's files automatically.
