Browser hijackers tend to perform redirects to certain sites because site owners get money from increased traffic. You, on the other hand, get nothing. Not only will you be meaninglessly redirected, but might also be exposed to malware threats. Hijackers don’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to secure websites, so you obtaining a more serious infection is not that unlikely. And if you are wondering how you got the hijacker, it’s likely that it was attached to freeware as an extra offer. You can easily avoid these unwanted installations, and all you need to do is deselect them during installation. There is no reason why you should put up with the changes, the redirects, and the possible danger of a more serious infection. Just delete 30tab.com.

How did it install?

It’s likely that it was attached to freeware as an extra offer. When you are installing programs, especially ones you get from questionable sources, it’s important that you pay attention to the process. Always read the information provided, and opt for Advanced (Custom) settings. Those settings will make all hidden offers visible, unlike Default (Basic). If there indeed is something attached, make sure you deselect it/them. Only after you have deselected everything should you proceed to install the freeware. While those items that are attached are not malicious, you will not find them useful, and if they do not properly inform you about their installation, they should not be allowed to remain installed.

What does it do?

You will find your browser’s settings changed immediately after the hijacker is installed. Your homepage will be set to a different site, new tabs may open the same one. This may affect all leading browsers you have, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. As soon as you notice these unauthorized changes, you might try to reverse them, but the hijacker will prevent you from doing so permanently. Every time you change anything, the hijacker will reverse it. The website primarily promotes a questionable search engine, but it also hosts links to popular sites like Facebook, YouTube, reddit, etc. The search engine supposedly generates results via Google, which defeats the purpose of the site, as you can go to Google directly. However, if you type in a search, you will not be led to Google, but instead will be displayed results with sponsored content inserted into them. Be careful about what you click on as you could be led to completely unrelated, or even dangerous sites. Hijackers aim to redirect so that owners of those sites can earn income, and they do not care whether the site is safe. So a simple redirect could lead to a malware infection. Another worrying thing about the site is that there are no Terms of Use or Privacy Policy forms available. Those two forms are essential for a website as they provide important information about what kind of user data is collected, how it’s stored, and whether it’s shared with third-parties. All of the above mentioned things make the site unreliable, so you should just remove 30tab.com.
