What is SuperCar New Tab

SuperCar New Tab is a type of adware that infects computers and web browsers, specifically targeting users who are interested in luxury cars and high-performance vehicles. This adware is designed to display intrusive advertisements, pop-ups, and sponsored links on the user’s browser, redirecting them to various websites promoting SuperCar New Tab and other potentially harmful content.

Once installed, SuperCar New Tab modifies the browser settings and collects user data, such as browsing history and search queries, to personalize the displayed advertisements. It can also track the user’s online activities and sell this information to third-party advertisers, compromising the user’s privacy and security. To protect against SuperCar New Tab and other adware, users should be cautious when downloading software from untrusted sources and regularly scan their computers for malware.
