TV Guru New Tab Extension

The TV Guru New Tab Extension is a program that is developed by Olympus Software LTD. with the patronage of APN, LLC. The TV Guru New Tab Extension is known to be promoted to PC users via hxxps://chrome.google[.]com/webstore/detail/tv-guru/lialdndmdkpfpkhjedaclgdhibaibekp and hxxp://tvguru-lp2.olympuswaymarketing[.]com/?coId=6ce72ac2fea84e719adf00d2dbd3b537&ntcb=CXJ&rebuttalSuppression=true. The TV Guru New Tab application supports the two main Web browsers — Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Web surfers may be invited to install the TV Guru New Tab extension from advertisements on the Web and sites that require the users to install a promoted browse extension before they can access the premium content.

The TV Guru New Tab program is designed to substitute the new tab page in Firefox and Chrome with a custom search page based on hxxp://www.mysearch[.]com (Mysearch.com for short). You may be induced to believe that the TV Guru New Tab extension would grant you access to free movies and the latest news from Hollywood, but that is not exactly the case. The TV Guru New Tab application is known to show a customized new tab and a list of links to various sections of hxxps://www.themoviedb[.]org (should not be mistaken for hxxps://www.imdb[.]com). The new tab page by TV Guru can be found on two URLs — hxxp://hp.mysearch[.]com/tvguru/b2bmsff/index.html suited for Mozilla Firefox; and hxxp://hp.mysearch[.]com/tvguru/b2bms/index.html suited for Google Chrome.
