The Search.futuremediatab.com site is presented to users as a search service that offers a selection of links to resources on virustotal.com, beta.speedtest.net, and winfixprofessionals.com. The Search.futuremediatab.com site is not a real search engine but a redirect-gateway to Google.com. Additionally, the Search.futuremediatab.com site was reported in cases of browser hijacking. Search.futuremediatab.com is registered on the 108.59.81.209 IP address where we have found many programs by Imali Media Ltd. The company is known for releasing new tab page replacements and ad-supported software. The Search.futuremediatab.com portal is believed to be part of a new browser extension that is associated with the futuremediatab.com domain.

Imali Media Ltd. is known to rename and repack many of its products. The FutureMediaTab software is likely to be a clone of TvNewTab, Cool Media Tab and MediaNewTab, both published by Imali Media Ltd. in the last year. A closer look at the records for the 108.59.81.209 IP address allowed us to find sites like fulltab.com, newtabtv.com, powermediatab.com, ourmediatab.com, supermediatab.com, funtabmedia.com and bestmediatab.com. PC users that are redirected to Search.futuremediatab.com whenever they open a new tab and start an online session might have installed a new browser extension by Imali Media Ltd. that is responsible for the browser redirects. Most of the products by the company are designed to alter the layout of your new tab page and offer access to third-party services like liveforgames.com, hulu.com, imdb.com and instagram.com. The Search.futuremediatab.com portal may provide useful links to popular services and redirect users to Google.com when they type keywords into the text box at Search.futuremediatab.com and hit enter on the keyboard. If you notice ads that feature the slogan 'Brought by FutureMediaTab' and 'Powered by FutureMediaTab' — you might have installed an app by Imali Media Ltd. that may have modified your Internet settings. You can use a security scanner to help you identify Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) related to Search.futuremediatab.com and have them removed safely.
