I wrote this article to help you remove Fulltab.com. This Fulltab.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Fulltab is a browser extension. The tool supports the Windows OS, versions 7, 8, 10, Vista and XP. Fulltab has a vast set of functions. The application has a live player which gives the option to watch live channels online, listen to music per choice or the radio. The user can also create a custom playlist. There is a gallery of custom desktop wallpapers to choose from. Users also have the option to select their own picture. The finance widget of Fulltab analyzes the stock market. A social and media search engine is incorporated, complete with a links bar. The utility has a media slider, with suggestions for movies and TV shows. It includes a summary of the story, a trailer link and a rating. The social slider complements the specialized search engine. The last function is a news widget. It lists the latest news items from the globe in chronological order.

Fulltab is built to look like a useful and reliable extension. This is not the case, though. The program has a poor security reputation. Security experts have categorized Fulltab as adware because it exposes users to security risks. The shady tool supports third party content without running it through a safety check. Fulltab displays shopping suggestions through advertisements. The ads are shown in different formats. Some of them will be embedded within the web pages you visit, while others will appear in new browser windows.

The most common ad formats are pop-up and pop-under windows. The former are more intrusive, as they open new browser windows. The latter are embedded within the current tabs. Pop-unders which appear at the top of the web page are called banners. Other instances of embedded ads are interstitial, contextual, inline, floating and transitional ads. The first three types will not distract you much. They list offers in a subtle way. The last two formats from the list are more intent to attract your attention. They will follow you as you scroll down the page and cover part of it. All windows are flagged with phrases like “Ads by Fulltab”, “Brought to you by Fulltab” and “Powered by Fulltab”.

To have a better chance at garnering users’ interest, the furtive program decorates the ads with cursive fonts, colorful patters, flash animations and other special effects. The price of the listed item or the amount of the discount is highlighted. Fulltab promotes shopping deals, although its functions do not relate to shopping in any way. This is a red flag. If a program performs a task it is not stated to carry out, this operation may be done for a malicious intention. Fulltab promotes offers for a wide array of consumer goods. This encompasses clothing, furniture, technological devices, household items, toys, games, sports gear, gardening equipment, decorative elements and others.

Some of the product listings may interest you. As good as they may be, keep in mind that the ads are not guaranteed to be legitimate. The owners of Fulltab support the content of third party platforms in exchange for commissions. They do not scan the sponsored websites for security purposes. The entity gets paid according to the number of advertisements users follow. This monetizing technique is called the pay-per-click system. The authors of Fulltab have issued disclaimer of liability and limitation of warranty statements to avoid legal issues. The company behind the adware is called Imali N.I. Media Ltd. It is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The privacy policy also favors the entity. The developers of Fulltab do not assume responsibility for users’ privacy. The adware has the ability to track your browsing sessions and gather information on you. This includes your browsing history, cookies, keystrokes, IP address, email, telephone number, geographic location, demographic details, user names and passwords. The data Fulltab records is sold on darknet markets. The people who acquire it can break into your personal accounts and steal from them. The owners of the adware do not ask for permission to collect and sell people’s private details.

Fulltab can be downloaded for free from its official website, fulltab.com. If you did not acquire the extension per your decision, you were somehow tricked to allow it into your system. The covert tool uses a couple of dark patterns to sneak into users’ computers. The preferred method is bundling. The adware merges its setup file with the executable of another program and gets added as an extra tool. You have to find where the option is listed in the terms and conditions and deselect it. The other way for the adware to penetrate your machine is through an email. The clandestine program hides behind attachments. The host can be a document, an image or an archive. The spammer will tell you that the file is an important document. He could write on behalf of an existing entity to convince you. Be sure to check the sender’s contacts before opening files or following instructions from emails.
