Snow New Tab is a type of adware that often presents itself as a helpful browser extension promising to enhance the user’s online experience by providing quick access to weather updates, news, and other useful features. However, once installed, Snow New Tab starts displaying intrusive advertisements, pop-ups, and sponsored links on the user’s browser, disrupting their browsing experience and potentially exposing them to malicious content.
Snow New Tab typically infects computers and browsers through software bundling, where it is included as an optional add-on in the installation packages of freeware or shareware programs. Users unknowingly agree to install Snow New Tab when they hastily click through the installation process without carefully reviewing each step. Additionally, users may also inadvertently download Snow New Tab by clicking on malicious ads, visiting compromised websites, or opening malicious email attachments. Once installed, Snow New Tab modifies the browser settings to display unwanted ads and may also collect browsing data to target users with more personalized advertisements.
