The Sports Addict New Tab software by The Whiz Ltd. is a revamped version of the Sports Hero New Tab software that they released earlier, and users were not pleased with it. The Sports Addict New Tab software works as a browser extension for Google Chrome and may attract the attention of sports fans. The Sports Addict New Tab extension is available for download from Sportsaddict.thewhizproducts.com or users may be welcomed to install it from unreliable sports news sites. The Sports Addict New Tab extension may promise users to load exciting content from sources like www.espn.co.uk/football, ww.nba.com, and www.baseball-reference.com, and allow users to customize what type of news they are interested in. That may sound nice at first, but you should consider the changes that the Sports Addict New Tab extension will make to your browser. The Sports Addict New Tab will need full access to your apps, themes and extensions to facilitate its operations.
The Sports Addict New Tab extension will urge users to install additional software under the name MySearch DS-2, which is a re-branded version of the MySearch Toolbar. MySearch DS-2 a.k.a. MySearch Toolbar is classified as badware and users are not advised to install it alongside Sports Addict New Tab. The Sports Addict New Tab extension may modify your homepage and new tab settings to show links from sports news portals and allow you to search via the Search.mysearch.com search aggregator. If you decide to install MySearch DS-2, you will set Search.mysearch.com as your default search provider and will need to remove Sports Addict New Tab and MySearch DS-2 to use alternative services like Google and Bing. The Sports Addict New Tab extension is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may not improve your browsing experience and urge you to install badware. Also, the Sports Addict New Tab extension may use data like your Internet History and IP address to show personalized commercial content on Search.mysearch.com. Web surfers can access their settings panel and go to Extensions from the hamburger icon if they wish to remove Sports Addict New Tab and MySearch DS-2. You may want to use a credible anti-spyware to delete left-over data that may reside in the AppData folder.
