Planktab

Planktab is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Planktab is advertised as been capable of providing users with unique wallpapers on their homepages and new tab pages. At first, the computer users may consider Planktab a useful extension. However, it will not take long for them to notice that Planktab has some characteristics present on threats. Planktab may access a PC without a computer user's consent and awareness. Once installed on the computer, Planktab may show pop-up messages and intrusive advertisements. Planktab activities may slow down the PC, especially on startup, shutdown, watching videos, playing games or browsing the Web. Planktab may substitute the default start page or search provider with Planktab.com without the computer user's knowledge. Planktab may display various random pop-up ads when the PC user is surfing the Internet. Planktab may install other unwanted programs on the computer and create shortcuts on the desktop. Planktab may block security tools and might be difficult to remove via Control Panel. Planktab is not a threat infection, but it may make the PC susceptible to various infections (PUPs, adware, browser hijackers end even threats). Planktab may result in various system issues and set the computer in danger of being corrupted by threats. PC users should use a genuine anti-malware program to rid their PCs of Planktab.
