View Online Recipes

View Online Recipes is a Web browser add-on that claims to provide its users with access to a large library of cooking recipes that can easily be searched, saved, and explored. However, users who install the View Online Recipes browser add-on may soon realize that the content that this extension provides is not unique at all - View Online Recipes simply refers users to popular online recipe libraries that can be used without installing 3rd-party browser add-ons.

The goal of the developers of the View Online Recipes add-on is to generate traffic for the website that this extension promotes – Search.viewonlinerecipestab.com. Every user who installs this extension will have their Web browser's new tab page set to Search.viewonlinerecipestab.com, and the only way to revert the change is to uninstall the add-on in question.

The good news is that installing the View Online Recipes extension is not a major problem since the application does not exhibit suspicious behavior – the only 'shady' thing it does is to manipulate the browser's configuration so that the user will end up at Search.viewonlinerecipestab.com whenever they open a new tab.

View Online Recipes is detected as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by reputable PC security products, and you can rely on these software suites to help you remove View Online Recipes, and fix the changes it brought to your Web browser's settings.
