Tabs Organizer for Chrome ads

Tabs Organizer for Chrome in detail

Tabs Organizer for Chrome is promoted as an app that enables users to quickly navigate through their tabs, bookmarks, and history. However, this application displays ads and it can read and change all data on all websites, and read browsing history.

By clicking on the ads shown by Tabs Organizer for Chrome, users may end up on harmful websites, phishing pages, sites hosting untrustworthy applications, and other dangerous content. Moreover, these ads might be designed to execute scripts designed to download or install unwanted software without the user's knowledge or consent.

Since Tabs Organizer for Chrome has the ability to access and alter website data (and read browsing-related information), there is a worry that the developers of this software could potentially sell or exploit the data for financial gain. This could result in privacy concerns and other issues related to online security.

Adware in general

The most common issue with having adware present on a computer is the continuous display of intrusive ads, which may direct users to unreliable websites. Moreover, adware can alter browser settings (hijack a web browser) to promote dubious search engines, and collect user data.

Therefore, it is recommended to promptly remove any adware detected on the system to mitigate the potential risks it poses. Some examples of advertising-supported applications are Download pro, Communique, and Zoco PDF Viewer.

How did adware install on my computer?

Adware is often bundled with free software that can be downloaded from the internet. If users do not adjust the settings, such as "Advanced," "Custom," or similar options, adware gets installed alongside the software.

Advertising-supported applications may also be distributed through deceptive websites, fake installers, and misleading advertisements, among other (similar) methods. We found that Tabs Organizer for Chrome is promoted on a deceptive page offering to download a "valuable extension".

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

Download applications from reliable sources such as official websites and stores. Avoid downloading from untrustworthy websites, third-party downloaders, P2P networks, etc. It is also advisable not to trust ads shown on questionable websites (or agree to receive notifications from pages of this kind).

Also, before proceeding with any installations, always check downloaders and installers for unwanted applications and deselect them. Usually, it can be done by changing the provided settings. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
