The SocialNewPage extension is offered on Socialnewpage.com and freeware bundles as a tool that will make it possible for you to keep an eye on what your friends upload on social media services like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter simultaneously. Computer users that like to keep in touch with classmates, relatives and acquaintances via several social networks may be inclined to install the SocialNewPage extension. However, the SocialNewPage extension is created by Imali Media LTD. that is known to use their products to gather information like your bookmarks collection, search history, download logs, software, and hardware configuration without the user's approval. The SocialNewPage extension is deemed by security investigators as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may travel under the name Social Newtab Plus and is a version of the Social Media NewTabM browser hijacker.

The SocialNewPage extension (a.k.a. Social Newtab Plus) by Imali Media LTD. may present users with dialog boxes on social media portals, ask to access your news feed and manage your account. You should note that the SocialNewPage extension is not licensed to manage personally identifiable information, and it is not wise to provide it with access to your online accounts. Additionally, the Social Newtab Plus extension may change your default search aggregator and redirect you to alternatives to Amazon that are not secure. The Social Newtab Plus extension may record your information on LinkedIn to help advertisers build better marketing strategies. Security investigators note that the SocialNewPage extension may place links to suspicious sites on your new tab page and show pop-up windows that advertise riskware such as PlusTotal and Reverse Page. Computer users that do not wish to compromise with their security may want to delete all components of the SocialNewPage extension with the help of a reliable anti-spyware utility.
