The AmazingTab application that you might be offered to install together with a free program installer does not feature a valid digital signature, and you should be cautious. The AmazingTab application may claim to improve your Internet experience by customizing and upgrading the default design of your new tab page and start page, but it is an adware that might decrease your overall computer's performance. The AmazingTab adware is made with the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System and may not appear in your 'Control Panel'. The AmazingTab adware may make your new tab page to look like the home screen of Windows 8 and provide you with links to services like Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, eBay and best Buy. However, the AmazingTab adware may cover your screen with pop-up windows and load several tabs with marketing content when you start an online session in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Security investigators report that the AmazingTab adware is known to collect information like your search keywords on Google, browsing history, bookmarks, IP address, browser type and approximate geographical location. That data might be used by untrusted advertisers, and you may be invited to install badware like Wilsys and AdBlocker and visit potentially harmful domains. The AmazingTab adware works like OpenCandy and might use session cookies and Web storage data to build a unique advertising profile about you and show personalized marketing content on banners, pop-up windows, ad-boxes and transitional full-page promotions. You should install a trusted anti-malware application to purge the AmazingTab adware securely.
