It seems that no day can go by a new potential threat like nJoySport Search emerging on the net. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com have found that this potentially unwanted program (PUP) comes from a growing family of PUPs, including MusicNet Start, NetGaming Search, and FilmsApp Home. These PUPs have been promoted in groups of four or five but this latest one is claimed to be available with nine other PUPs on the same website. These browser extensions are more or less the same and only their names change and their themes. All of them work only in Google Chrome. This new extension offers you sports related searches and trending content. However, we believe that this tool could expose you to questionable third-party content, which may put your system security at risk if engaged with. Therefore, we suggest that you remove nJoySport Search from your browser because you could easily infect your computer with more serious malware threats or become the next victim of online scams.

Gamesquest is a Google Chrome browser extension that should allow users to search for online games. The Gamesquest extension is presented as a tool that enables unlimited access to different genres and is easy to use. Unfortunately, when analyzing Gamesquest, no enhancement in web searches has been observed. The free application only changes the browser settings, including proxy settings, so that you are directed to the Yahoo search results page.

The Gamesquest extension, which is promoted as a convenient tool, has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) even though it has its official website and is also promoted in the Chrome Web Store. In addition to these two sources, the Gamesquest extension is also distributed alongside freeware. If you are not sure how Gamesquest got on your PC, the odds are that it has been installed as an additional program simultaneously with another program. The Gamesquest extension is also spread by pop-up advertisements, which you should always ignore to prevent unwanted adverse consequences.  Our team at Anti-Spyware-101.com recommends removing the Gamesquest extension so that your browsing sessions are not redirected and your browsing behavior is not monitored.
