Are you a movie buff and love spending time watching new movies? In this case, you might find MovieCenter Search quite interesting. Although this Google Chrome extension is advertised as this amazingly useful tool, our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers classify it as a potentially unwanted program, or “PUP.” Why is that so? There are several reasons for that. First of all, the extension itself does not stream movies. Instead, it introduces you to the c.gomovix.com movie database that provides users with links to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, and other movie streaming services that you have to pay for. Secondly, it comes bundled with a hijacker that has nothing to do with the service it offers. It seems that this search tool is simply meant to make it easier for the creator and advertisers to collect information and promote advertisements. Due to these reasons, our research team advises that you delete MovieCenter Search. If you want to learn more, keep reading. Read more »
