WorldNews New Tab is a dubious web browser extension that may seem useful at first, but once it has been installed it may reveal its true purpose. According to its official website the WorldNews New Tab browser extension is supposed to provide with quick links and updates related to the latest world news. This may be a great way to stay up to date with recent events, but, unfortunately, this isn't the only thing that the WorldNews New Tab browser extension does. Once it has been installed, it may hijack the web browser's settings and inject a new homepage and default search engine for you to use. Furthermore, the WorldNews New Tab may display ads on various websites, so it is safe to say that using the WorldNews New Tab extension may disturb your browsing habits.
The peculiar thing about this extension is that it is developed by InMind, an unknown software developer. Judging by the website of the extension and its qualities, security experts suspect that WorldNews New Tab may be another browser extension developed and distributed by Mindspark Interactive Network, a company with a poor reputation because of its dubious toolbars and browser extensions. The WorldNews New Tab is certainly something you don't want to install on your computer, so make sure to decline all offers to install this extension. If you have already made the mistake of installing the Worldnews New Tab extension, you should try to remove it with the help of a potent anti-malware software suite.
