Gaming New Tab

Our computer security experts say that Gaming New Tab is a potentially unwanted program that might be associated with particular computer security issues. The program itself is a browser extension that works on the Google Chrome web browser. Users can download and install the application themselves from the official website, so there is nothing illegal about it. Nevertheless, we would discourage you from keeping this extension on your browser because it is affiliated with the Mindspark adware programs. If you care about your system’s security, you will have Gaming New Tab removed from your browser today. While are you are it, please run a diagnostic PC scan with a security program of your choice.

Judging from the fact that the official website for this application is located at lp.inmind-games.com, this extension is obviously related to the WorldSport New Tab. The latter program is also characterized by belonging to the InMind group of browser extensions. Both applications are built by the developers of the MindSpark adware family, and they use the same platform to create their toolbars and this browser extension. Consequently, we can tell that Gaming New Tab is also related to VideoConvert Toolbar, FindMeFreebies Toolbar, FreeGamesZone application, and many other programs released by the same creators.

When we take a closer look at lp.inmind-games.com, we can see that the extension is promoted as a useful tool for Google Chrome. It says that when you install “Gaming by InMind Chrome New Tab,” you will “get access to the best games in one click.” At the same time, right below the “Get it Here!” button, you can see additional information presented in a tiny font, which reads: “By clicking the button above and adding Gaming by InMind new tab, I accept and agree to abide by the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy.” The problem is that quite often the EULA and the Privacy Policy of such applications make it obvious that the programs themselves are not responsible for the third-party content security, and they frequently tend to expose and redirect users to third-party sites.

What’s more, the official website is obviously not the only distribution source employed by the program’s developers. Gaming New Tab may also come bundled with other adware applications and potentially unwanted programs. It could also be advertised in pop-ups generated by other adware programs, so this might mean that your computer has been infected prior to Gaming New Tab entering your system. Whichever it might be, the bottom line is that you are strongly discouraged from keeping this application on your browser. It will not infect you with malware on purpose, but you may find yourself on a dangerous website accidentally, after clicking some offer promoted by the extension.

You can delete Gaming New Tab by removing it from the list of extensions in the Google Chrome settings. On the other hand, you should also check what kind of other unwanted programs you have on your PC. For that, you can simply scan your system with the SpyHunter free scanner. If you see a lot of potential threats on the scan results list, perhaps this is the right time to invest in a powerful antispyware application.
