filmsNet Search

filmsNet Search is an extension that is meant to help you find all films-related information you could ever be interested in. If you install it onto your Google Chrome web browser, it reconfigures the default search provider to introduce you to the service, which is exactly why it is often classified as a browser hijacker. Our research team classifies it as a potentially unwanted program, and it is strongly advised that you delete it as soon as possible. At first, the add-on might appear to be great and extremely beneficial, but if you employ it, you should realize right away that it does not really work all threat great. That is not all. It was found that having it installed on your web browser could be potentially dangerous for your own virtual security.

You can find filmsNet Search represented at medianetnow.com. This source also represents filmsNet Start, musicNet Start, netGaming Search, and other questionable extensions. The installers of all of these extensions are hosted on the Chrome web store, and you can find the PUP discussed in this report at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/filmsnet-search/ngdgoemjejbpcgjagnbkcpmibdijoeaa. According to the data available at the time of research, this extension had over 33,000 users. Google Chrome users who install the PUP via this source are likely to be introduced to an additional offer (e.g., “bestMovies Search for Chrome”) via movie.ienjoyapps.com/wim/lp/offer. Although an option to “skip” this installer exists, the user is not allowed to click it. That does not mean that you need to install this add-on. Simply close the page to reject the offer. It is hard to say what kinds of additional PUPs or malicious infections you could be introduced to if you installed filmsNet Search using a third-party installer. Utilize a reliable malware scanner to run a full system scan and determine whether or not you need to delete something else.

When the suspicious filmsNet Search is installed, you have the option to browse the web for film-related information. To activate the search engine, you type “m” into the address bar of your browser and then tap the Tab key on the keyboard. If you use this engine, you will be routed to net.gomovix.com/search. This website functions as a movie database – similarly to, for example, imdb.com – but, of course, the information is very limited, which is why the extension is not considered to be useful. If you do not use the “m”+“Tab” combination, you are still introduced to results that are affected by filmsNet Search. That is because the potentially unwanted program hijacks the default search provider, and all searches via the address bar are routed to search.yahoo.com via movie.eanswers.com. Since Yahoo Search is a widely used search engine, some users might think nothing of the hijacking, but interacting with the delivered results could be dangerous. Did you know that the PUP can modify these results? This is the main reason it is advised to delete the potentially unwanted program from your operating system.
