City Page Today Home Page

City Page Today Home Page is a Google Chrome browser extension that sets user’s homepage or new tab page to citypage.today. As a result, the plugin falls under the classification of browser hijackers. The problem is, while the presented website might look beautiful and useful, its provided search engine may display modified results. Because of this, the user might encounter potentially malicious third-party content. Therefore, it seems to us it would be safer to find a more trustworthy option to surf the Internet with. If you cannot decide yet, we invite you to read the rest of our article and learn more details about this browser hijacker. Later, if you choose to get rid of City Page Today Home Page, you could use the deletion instructions available at the end of the text.

No doubt, users who encountered this threat unexpectedly might be wondering how it managed to enter their system. According to our researchers City Page Today Home Page could be traveling with bundled software installers that you may download from various untrustworthy file-sharing web pages like torrent sites. If you use such websites from time to time, you should try to be more careful. Before launching the downloaded installer, the user could check it with a reliable antimalware tool to see if it is not carrying anything malicious. Also, once the installation process begins, you should pick advanced settings, carefully review the given terms, and deselect unwanted suggestions. However, it would be even safer if you would not download software from doubtful sources.

Just as it was said earlier, City Page Today Home Page is supposed to place citypage.today instead of the user’s homepage or new tab page. This website seems to work as a search engine since mainly it provides a search box. Also, below it, the user should see links to various web pages that may provide local news or weather, and so on. For some users, such combination might look rather perfect, and they may not want to get rid of the new tool even if it entered the system with them realizing it. Nevertheless, before deciding whether to delete or leave City Page Today Home Page on your browser, you should know why using it could be risky

Our researchers noticed the given search engine might show modified Bing search results. It might mean the search results could be altered to place additional advertising content among them. Since the extension’s creators claim they do not guarantee the third-party content will be reviewed or reliable, we believe if the plugin displays ads some of them might be potentially malicious. For instance, they could provide links to malicious web pages, scam websites, sites distributing potentially unwanted programs, other browser hijackers, adware, and so on. What’s more, according to City Page Today Home Page Privacy Policy, it might gather information about the user’s browsing habits and share it with third-party partners. Again, we think this could be done to serve users more relevant or in other words targeted advertising content.

All thing considered, City Page Today Home Page does not look particularly reliable, even though we cannot be one hundred percent sure it can show the potentially dangerous third-party content we talked about above. Thus, for users who do not want to take any risks and know they will not miss this suspicious extension, we would advise erasing it with no hesitation. There are lots of useful and beautiful websites that and are not considered to be browser hijackers and could be used for your homepage; you just need to find one.

Users who want to remove this extension manually should follow the instructions located a bit below this text as they will explain the process in detail. Those who prefer using automatic features could acquire a reliable antimalware tool instead and set it to perform a full system scan. Afterward, the browser hijacker and possible other detected threats should be eliminated at the same time.
