  • How to remove the OhMyTabs Adware (Removal Guide)

    OhMyTabs is an adware program that claims that it is "a free set of tools that work to make your browsing experience better!". When I installed OhMyTabs, though, I did not see anything but OhMyTabs ads or advertisements that open on their own in new browser windows. These advertisements were for other adware downloader like the one shown in the image below.

    OhMyTabs is an adware program that claims that it is "a free set of tools that work to make your browsing experience better!". When I installed OhMyTabs, though, I did not see anything but OhMyTabs ads or advertisements that open on their own in new browser windows. These advertisements were for other adware downloader like the one shown in the image below.
    To be fair to this program, it did not make the computer slower like so many other similar programs. The advertisements, though, were intrusive and if you install the promoted products, your computer will quickly be bogged down with adware, browser hijackers, and other unwanted programs. For these, I think it should be removed from a computer.
    How did OhMyTabs get on my computer?

    It is important to note that the OhMyTabs is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers youÂ*CustomÂ*orÂ*AdvancedÂ*installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
    In my opinion, whatever "better browsing experience" OhMyTabs supposedly offers, the advertisements it displays makes me feel that users should uninstall this program from their computer. To remove OhMyTabsfor free, please follow the steps in the removal guide below.
