Is Travel Backgrounds safe?
Travel Backgrounds forwards new-tab search terms to searchtravelbg.com.
Travel Backgrounds replaces the browser's new tab page with a search form. When you submit a query there, its script reads the text and submits it as the q parameter to searchtravelbg.com/dynamiclander/.
