The Todays News Reporter browser add-on published by Polarity Technologies Ltd. is an ad-supported product that may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox users. The Todays News Reporter browser add-on is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may change your new tab page to Search.searchtodaynr.com and offer a quick dial for services like Facebook, Gmail, Amazon and Edition.cnn.com. The new tab page provided by Todays News Reporter is designed to work with a custom search based on Yahoo and users are rerouted to Search.yahoo.com whenever you put keywords on Search.searchtodaynr.com and hit enter. Searches on Search.yahoo.com are provided in a new tab page and may include targeted promotional materials, banners and discounts. As mentioned above, the Todays News Reporter add-on is an ad-supported product that requires the following privileges to function properly:

  • Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
  • Read and change your browsing history.
  • Manage your downloads.
  • Manage your apps, extensions and themes.
  • Change your search settings to search.searchtodaynr.com

Computer security researchers note that the Todays News Reporter add-on by Polarity Technologies Ltd. may collect non-personally identifiable information like your search and browsing history, as well as the list of third-party browser extensions for marketing purposes. You should keep in mind that the data collected by Todays News Reporter is sent via an unencrypted connection to the servers of Polarity Technologies Ltd. Moreover, the site Search.searchtodaynr.com does not support encrypted connections, and the data packets you exchange with Search.searchtodaynr.com may be altered. That allows for Man-in-the-Middle attacks. It is recommended that you read the Terms of Use Agreement and Privacy Policy uploaded to Search.searchtodaynr.com/Home/Terms and Search.searchtodaynr.com/Home/Privacy before you install the Todays News Reporter add-on. The Todays News Reporter add-on is perceived by some researchers as a clone of the Todays Top Headlines browser extension released by Polarity Technologies Ltd. earlier in 2017. You might want to remove the Todays News Reporter software with help from a trustworthy anti-malware tool.
