We cannot claim that this tool does not work or it has malicious intent. In fact, we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Still, having this PUP in your browser could pose an indirect threat to your system security. It may collect information about you and use it to show you customized content on modified search results pages. It is also possible that you do not install this PUP knowingly; in this case, you could have more serious threats on your system. All in all, we do not think that it is a good idea to leave such a potential threat source on your computer if you want to feel safe while going online.

We have found that this PUP is also spread in freeware bundles. This also means that it is possible to install this extension without even realizing it because you may be targeting another free program indeed. Bundles are a tricky thing. They can be very deceptive. In fact, a bundle may carry a number of threats, including PUPs and malware infections (e.g., adware programs, ransomware programs, browser hijackers, and Trojans). If you are not careful while installing a bundle, you could end up with several threats on your system without even knowing. This is why you may not even recall installing this PUP. If you have downloaded free software or a software crack recently from a shady torrent site, there is a good chance that this is why you have this tool in your browser. And, you will find more if you keep looking. You may also click on an unreliable third-party ad while viewing a questionable website and this can also result in your dropping a bundle on your system. We believe that it is best to run a trustworthy online malware scanner right after you delete Meme Generator - MemeTab so that you can identify all other possibly harmful programs as well.

When you install this Google Chrome browser extension, it changes your homepage and new tab page settings to search.memetab.com. This search page has a meme creator feature, which makes it easy for you to create new memes and even share it on Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter. We believe that this feature works just fine as you can really create and share memes. However, let us not forget about the fact that this PUP may gather information about your online activities based on your browsing history, for instance, and use it, or even share it with third parties, to target you with tailored third-party ads. When you search the web through this tool, your queries first go to feed.memetab.com and only then to Yahoo to show your results. Unfortunately, you cannot trust these results since they can be packed with questionable third-party ads and sponsored content. There can be so many of these actually that it is hard to see the real results on the page. If you click on an unreliable link or ad, you could infect your computer directly or open a new tab with a malicious page. This is why we mostly believe that you should remove Meme Generator - MemeTab from your browser.
