What is WorldSport New Tab?
Developed by APN, LLC, WorldSport New Tab (a. k. a WorldSport by inMind) is a free browser extension that supports Google Chrome only. However, such and similar extensions are commonly updated, so sooner or later Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox versions will be released although they’d better not be. It has been noted that the company APN, LLC is closely related to Mindspartk Interactive Network, which is not a good sign. This company is notorious for creating clone toolbars that are used to promote a custom search engine (Ask or MyWay) in order to promote third parties and boots traffic to affiliate websites. Thus, you should better not fall for believing that WorldSport New Tab is going to provide you with a quick access to the latest sports news, updates, and similar things because it works for affiliate marketing primarily.

It is typically promoted via other free downloads as a recommended/optional/additional tool. The first sign that will raise your suspicions that WorldSport New Tab has infiltrated your system is a World Sport toolbar installed on Google Chrome, as well as Ask search set instead of your default start page and search provider.

WorldSport New Tab is considered to be a browser hijacker because it may initiate unwanted browser’s modifications and later display links to the websites regarding developers’ and affiliates’ needs but certainly not yours. That’s an old trick that third parties apply for earning easy money. Although this search provider does not seem to be promoting malicious websites (most commonly WorldSport New Tab redirects to Sportstream. tv and Nonissue. com), you should better not browse the net with the search engine set by default without your permission asked as you can never be sure which links are reliable and which are not.

Finally, do not underestimate the fact that browser extensions like this use cookies and collect browsing related information. All in all, the best solution to keep your PC’s stability and security is to remove WorldSport New Tab hijacker from the system using SpyHunter or another anti-malware.
