How to remove Never Forget Tab browser hijacker
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of application is Never Forget Tab?
While inspecting the Never Forget Tab browser extension, we found that it is a browser hijacker designed to promote two fake search engines: find.eonenavigate.com and neverforgettab.com. This app promotes them by changing the web browser's settings. It is strongly recommended not to trust the Never Forget Tab app and fake search engines promoted through it.
Never Forget Tab browser hijacker overview
The Never Forget Tab application alters the default search engine, homepage, and new tab page with the intention of compelling users to browse the Internet through find.eonenavigate.com and neverforgettab.com. Both of these fake search engines redirect users to bing.com and display results generated by a legitimate search engine (Bing).
It is important to note that fake search engines may display ads or links that lead to websites that distribute malware or viruses. Some fake search engines may prompt users to install software or browser extensions that are malicious or unwanted. Also, they can generate a large number of unwanted ads and pop-ups, which can be annoying and disruptive.
Additionally, fake search engines may collect and track users' browsing data and personal information, which can be used for targeted advertising or other malicious purposes. Thus, it is important to be cautious and avoid using suspicious search engines such as find.eonenavigate.com and neverforgettab.com.

More about browser hijackers
Browser hijackers can modify browser settings such as the default search engine, homepage, and new tab page, making it difficult for users to change them back to their original settings. Some browser hijackers can reinstall themselves after being removed, making it difficult for users to permanently get rid of them.
Examples of different browser hijackers are Hockey Start, My Cloud Tab, and GPT Search Navigator.
How did Never Forget Tab install on my computer?
Browser hijackers can be bundled with free software that users download and install from the internet. These software bundles may contain additional programs or features that the user did not intend to install. Also, users can accidentally install browser hijackers by clicking on malicious ads or links that lead to fake download or installation pages.
In other cases, users may be prompted to install fake software updates that actually contain browser hijackers or other unwanted software.
How to avoid installation of browser hijackers?
Check user reviews and ratings before downloading apps to ensure that they are safe and legitimate. Download apps from official pages and verified stores. Be careful when clicking on ads or pop-ups on shady websites. Do not allow suspicious sites to show notifications.
Check installers for unwanted apps and deselect them before installing software. If your computer is already infected with Never Forget Tab, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
