What is bestMovies Now?
We all watch movies and TV series, and we all want the best and most convenient experience. An add-on called bestMovies Now is supposed to provide just that. The extension promises to offer “immediate access to information about unlimited movies, TV series, trailers and movie reviews,” which might make you think that it allows watching movies and TV series for free. It does not. The best it can do is route to gomovix.com, which you can use to find movies or TV shows and a list of streaming services that you can use to watch them. Overall, the extension is kind of useless, and it is surprising that users fall for it at all. Nonetheless, a useless service is not all that the suspicious extension can provide you with. According to our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team, if you do not delete bestMovies Now, it will track your activity and inform third parties about it to help them showcase ads, which are likely to be displayed via the search engine. These are the main reasons to remove the extension ASAP.
How does bestMovies Now work?
We classify bestMovies Now as a potentially unwanted program because it is useless and because it cannot be trusted. Whether you downloaded this extension from njoyapps.com, the Chrome web store – chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bestmovies-now/bgmecmcakcenjilbicdkkalcheegpbfc – or from a random site that bundled the PUP along with other threats, you get the same services. The extension takes over the New Tab page on Google Chrome immediately, and the interface runs an animated image in the background. You can use a “To Do List” feature to create lists. The menu on the left also provides you with additional features. These are supposed to make bestMovies Now appear more useful and fun. We suggest that you focus on the search service instead. The interface displays a search field and Web, Images, Videos, News, and Movies buttons at the top. When you click the buttons, you activate different search tools. If you choose the last one, you are routed to an appropriate page on gomovix.com. The rest of them route to search.yahoo.com. Although the Chrome web store installer warns that Yahoo Search is used as the main search tool, you might think that your browser was hijacked.
Can you trust the search tool offered by bestMovies Now? You might be able to browse the web using it, but we do not recommend browsing the web until the potentially unwanted program is removed. Why? Because it is tracking every move you make, and it is sharing information with third parties who could use it to expose you to misleadingly attractive offers/ads/deals/links via the search tool. Even the Privacy Policy of the PUP informs that third parties are allowed to show ads. They might even use their own web cookies to track your activity. Cookies are small pieces of data that are used to record information. Session and persistent cookies exist, and the difference between them is that session cookies record data when you visit certain sites and then they are deleted, while persistent cookies can record data and stay present. Most websites and services use cookies, so you do not need to fear them all, but the cookies of unreliable services should be deleted. We recommend removing bestMovies Now cookies too.
