PUP.HomeTab is a PUP (potentially unwanted program), which may show non-stop pop-up notifcations and advertisements while the PC user is surfing online.

When downloading free programs from the Internet, computer users may install an adware-supported browser plug-in, add-on or browser extension for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and other major Web browsers as extra tools. The pop-up advertisements and messages delivered by PUP.HomeTab may include links taking PC users to suspicious websites.
