What is LessTabs?


LessTabs is regarded as a potentially unwanted adware that often comes into your PC via free downloads from third party and is able to display numerous ads on your screen regardless of your need.

Once installed, LessTabs automatically appears on your PC as a browser extension or add-on, which can be added onto all popular web browsers including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. As time goes by, you may notice that LessTabs performs many pesky tasks:

  • You may be redirected to unreliable sites after clicking any of the ads by LessTabs.
  • It runs in the background and drags down the running speed of your PC.
  • It offers more chances for other potentially harmful programs even viruses to get on your PC.

In a word, LessTabs is not a helpful tool but may direct your PC into deep troubles. If you really want to get rid of LessTabs but do not know how to do, follow the removal guide here.
