Templates Discovery Tab

The Templates Discovery Tab, as its name suggests, offers users a convenient way to access standard and helpful templates, in addition to display quick links to popular social media and shopping websites intuitively. While some users may find such features as helpful genuinely, downloading the Templates Discovery Tab will leave them surprised unpleasantly, as the program is little more than a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) and a browser hijacker.

If users install the Templates Discovery Tab as a browser extension, they will soon find out that their default browser settings have been modified. The homepage, new page tab, and the default search engine will be set to redirect to search.htemplatesdiscovery.com - a fake search engine that cannot generate search results on its own. Instead, it uses search.yahoo.com for the actual list of search results.

The creators of the Templates Discovery Tab have also built a standalone Web browser based on the Chromium project with the same goal in mind - the promotion of the search.htemplatesdiscovery.com fake search engine. At first, some users may not even notice that their Chome browser has been switched with another program due to the nearly identical design of the Templates Discovery Tab browser.

Reverting the unwanted changes could be impossible while the application is still present on the affected machine. That is what makes it recommended to use a legitimate cybersecurity program to remove the Templates Discovery Tab from your computer completely and securely.
