lp.mydrivingtab.com

Was your search engine changed to lp.mydrivingtab.com? If that is the case, then you clearly have been infected with a browser hijacker. This program affects only the Chrome browser, and with this program on your computer, you can expect to encounter a lot of annoying and potentially harmful third-party content. If you fail to remove lp.mydrivingtab.com from your system immediately, it is possible to get infected with seriously dangerous malware. Therefore, scroll down to the bottom of this description for the manual removal instructions. Also, do not hesitate to invest in a powerful antispyware tool if necessary. That would always be the most efficient option.

This browser hijacker does not look like something dangerous, and it is not (at least not by itself). The reason browser hijackers are out there is to make money for their creators. When we think of computer infections and monetary profits, we usually imagine personal identify thefts, banking information leaks, and so on. However, that is not how browser hijackers operate. We could even say that they fall into the gray zone where sometimes it is hard to determine whether the program is malicious or not. That is why we need to strictly adhere to our standards and have a checklist that allows categorizing programs properly.

According to our standards, any program that was not installed on a target computer with user’s knowledge should be considered as a potential threat. Even if that program was installed by the users themselves, it still should not be let loose because if the user did not want this program, it certainly should not be there. So, did you want to add MyDrivingTab to your browser? Do you even KNOW what this extension is? If you think that this application slithered into your computer behind your back, you have opened the right page.

Perhaps you are wondering, why we mentioned some MyDrivingTab extension all of a sudden, if you opened our page to find out more about lp.mydrivingtab.com. The point is, this browser hijacker is directly associated with the extension, and the moment this extension is added to your Chrome browser, it changes your default homepage settings, too. The extension has a homepage where you can read more about it, but do not fall for the promotional taglines: They will try to convince you that this extension is one of the best navigation tools out there, but that is highly doubtful.

Not to mention that you most probably installed it accidentally, so you did not even want it in the first place. Why should you tolerate a program that entered your computer uninvited? Perhaps it has brought more nuisances, too? In fact, that is very likely because if you did not download the extension directly, it must have entered your PC in a software package. Software packages are bundles of software that can be downloaded from file-sharing websites. Usually, users think they are downloading and installing just one application they want, but they miss several important steps in the installation wizard that tell them about the additional applications and features that come along.

This proves how important it is to read all the steps in the setup wizard. Perhaps it is possible to avoid installing additional programs, but you have to remain cautious. Even when this browser hijacker starts working in full swing, you have to refrain from clicking links to unfamiliar websites. You will surely see a lot of outgoing links to unknown sites in the search results because lp.mydrivingtab.com will try to provide modified search results that would be related to your latest browsing history.

Whatever you do, do not click those links because the hijacker cannot guarantee the third-part content security. In other words, if cyber criminals exploit this application, it could become yet another malware distribution tool. Thus, do yourself a favor and destroy lp.mydrivingtab.com for good.

The instructions below will show you how to delete the MyDrivingTab extension. It should be enough to remove lp.mydrivingtab.com, too. If something does not go according to the plan, do not hesitate to leave us a comment. Also, running a full system scan with a licensed antispyware tool is highly recommended because this is your best bet when you need to protect your system from harm.
