The overall functionality of SideTab is not that complicated. It works in quite a similar way that other adware programs do. At the very same time that it enters your operating system, it will start a suspicious system service, which is primarily used to contact adware servers. Such connectivity is essential for the functionality of this ad-supported program since these servers are the main providers of intrusive web content. Unfortunately, breaking these connections is not an easy task especially if you are not an advanced computer user since identifying the service responsible for such connectivity is rather difficult because it is named randomly and is even set to restart with every single system startup. In most cases, the invasive content is presented to you in a form of commercial third-party pop-ups, coupons, and ads. It goes without saying that all the invasive content will mess up your overall online experience. It is important to note that all the pop-ups, coupons, and ads are presented to you in a random manner; thus, you might be provided with a huge amount of devious content, which in consequence could make surfing the web a virtually impossible task. It is also important to note that none of the coupons or ads are actually useful. If you want to surf the web the way you are used to, without any disruptions, you will need to delete SideTab in its entirety.

There is something much more alarming about SideTab than just the annoyance caused by it. In some cases, this adware program could turn out to be the reason other programs might be able to enter your personal computer without a lot of trouble. This is so because during the connectivity to adware servers a silent download could take place. While this does not happen often, it is a risk that could have detrimental outcomes since a potentially malicious program could be obtained without your knowledge. In other instances, this adware application might present you with coupons, pop-ups, or ads embedded with redirect links. This means that clicking a seemingly harmless ad could prove to be quite dangerous since you could be redirected to suspicious or even potentially malicious websites. You could end up on a site that runs an arbitrary code execution exploit, and that can be more than enough to get your PC infected with some unknown malware. There is also a possibility to be taken to fake online shops. Such online stores are created by cyber criminals to steal your credit card data. It goes without saying that ending up on such websites is could have devastating outcomes. To keep your PC and sensitive data safe and secure at all times, you need to get rid of SideTab as soon as possible.
