App Discovery Tools

The App Discovery Tools Web browser extension claims to offer its users a variety of applications and add-ons that would improve their browsing quality. Initially, it may appear that the App Discovery Tools add-on would provide you with a set of helpful tools, but rest assured that you do not need this application to obtain any of the extensions or apps it offers. In fact, all the software promoted by the App Discovery Tools add-on is readily available online, free of charge. This means that users do not need the App Discovery Tools extension or any other third-party application to access any of the promoted tools.

This dodgy extension displays shady behavior as it alters the Web browser settings of its users without their knowledge or their permission. Rest assured that no genuine browser extension would dare to meddle in your system’s settings without your consent. The App Discovery Tools application sets an affiliated website as a new default tab page. There have been reports of two websites that tend to be set as a new tab page by the App Discovery Tools extension – either the Search.tappdiscovery.tools site or the Query.tappdiscovery.tools page. Both of these pages are iterations of the Yahoo Search engine, which means that they are safe to use. However, they may not show the most relevant results as it is likely that sponsored content would be pushed to the top of the search results. Also, it is likely that these affiliated pages may display more ads than usual.

We would advise you to remove the App Discovery Tools from your Web browser. This can either be achieved manually using your Web browser’s settings or with the help of an anti-malware application.
