MusicApp Search

If you need a music streaming app, perhaps you should turn to the official applications from the streaming websites instead of using the likes of MusicApp Search. Our research team says that this extension is a potentially unwanted program. It means that it is not a direct computer security threat, but it may have certain features you could find undesirable. What’s more, perhaps you did not intend to have this extension at all, but somehow it is there in your browser. If that is the case, then you most certainly need to remove MusicApp Search for good.

While you are at it, you should also look for other unwanted applications that might be hiding in your system. It is very likely that you have more than one threat on-board because such apps like MusicApp Search seldom travel alone. Potentially unwanted programs, adware, browser hijackers, and other minor threats tend to travel in packs. And it is very often that users download such programs on their computers without even realizing it. Hence, to check the exact state of your system’s security, you should scan your PC with a computer security tool of your choice. Only a full system scan will tell you whether your computer is safe or not.

As far as this extension is concerned, there are several distribution channels it could use. First, we have the official website that can be accessed via superappbox.com. You can find more apps on that page, and there is the introductory paragraph that tells you more about these products. It says that these developers “focus on creating useful and better products for Chrome users,” and that their “extensions will make your everyday browsing experience easier, faster and enjoyable.” Aside from MusicApp Search, you can also find FilmsApp, MusicApp Home, and FilmsApp Home on the site.

Judging from the description, you can already tell that MusicApp Search works only on the Chrome browser. Also, “Add to Chrome” buttons on the main website work just fine, so there is nothing bad we could say about the program’s homepage. That is to say; no one tries to trick you into adding this extension to your system. What’s more, the extension can also be found on the Chrome Web Store. So, taking everything into account, it would seem that there is nothing suspicious about MusicApp Search, and you should not refrain from using it.

However, if there is nothing wrong with this extension, why are users complaining about it? That is because we have not mentioned the third distribution method yet. Aside from the official channels, this program can be distributed in software packages, together with other freeware programs. For example, downloading apps from file-sharing sites can often result in adding a number of unnecessary programs to your system and your browser. It is probably obvious that MusicApp Search is one of those apps that get added to your browser accidentally. So it is technically you could install the application, even if you did not want it.

Probably, the most annoying thing about MusicApp Search is that the extension will change your default search engine. That is actually rather common when it comes to extensions and unfamiliar browser plug-ins. They make it look like they can provide you with some useful service, but in fact, they just expose you to potentially corrupted content by making use of third-party services. In the case MusicApp Search, the extension will redirect all of your search queries through movie.eanswers.com, and then you will land on a modified Yahoo! Search page. The program will modify the popular search engine in a way that it will display custom search results, based on your web browsing history.

That is definitely rather annoying and intrusive, and you should not tolerate such behavior. It is very easy to remove MusicApp Search from your computer. When you delete the extension, focus on other programs that might be slowing down your system. As mentioned, you can locate those programs by scanning your PC with a powerful antispyware tool. At the same time, a licensed antispyware tool will help you protect your system from similar intruders in the future.
