BitcoinPriceSearch Extension

What is BitcoinPriceSearch Extension?

BitcoinPriceSearch Extension might seem to be a great piece of software for learning more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, but you should not install it on your computer if you do not want to find your browser’s settings altered. This extension can affect all popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. The appearance of the new page set as your new homepage and New Tab URL might indicate the successful installation of BitcoinPriceSearch Extension. Luckily, it is not malware. Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have categorized this piece of software as a potentially unwanted application. A bunch of users are not happy about the changes they find applied to their browsers, but it is, of course, not the main reason BitcoinPriceSearch Extension has fallen into this category. Research has shown that it travels bundled and might slither onto users’ computers unnoticed, which is surely a bigger drawback.

What does BitcoinPriceSearch Extension do?

BitcoinPriceSearch Extension belongs to the Mindspark family of software. That is, it has been developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Since our researchers have already analyzed hundreds of applications (they share a bunch of similarities) developed by this company, it did not take long for them to find out how BitcoinPriceSearch Extension acts once it is installed on users’ computers too. It has turned out that this browser extension immediately applies changes to users’ browsers. To be more specific, your homepage and New Tab page will be changed on the browser you use. The page set does not differ much from an ordinary search provider. It has a search box, and, at the very top, it contains a toolbar with buttons opening cryptocurrency-related websites. Some users find it quite useful, but a bunch of people realize soon that they could access all those pages even if they did not have BitcoinPriceSearch Extension installed on their computers. There is one more drawback it has. It has turned out that the search tool it promotes (search.myway.com) might display some modified search results because it redirects users’ searches to the modified Google search engine. It is very likely that some information will be recorded about you automatically if you decide to keep BitcoinPriceSearch Extension as well. Potentially unwanted applications usually collect details that cannot identify users personally. That is, they usually record search queries, IP address, websites opened, and some technical information, for example, the browser version.

Where does BitcoinPriceSearch Extension come from?

Google Chrome users usually get BitcoinPriceSearch Extension from the official Chrome Web Store, but this piece of software also has an official website (http://www.bitcoinpricesearch.com/index.jhtml) people who use other browsers, i.e. Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer can download it from. Additionally, it might be spread bundled, so we would not be surprised at all if you told us that you found it installed on your computer without your knowledge. It is neither the first nor the last potentially unwanted application developed, so you should install security software on your PC in order not to find new undesirable changes applied. Researchers say that users might install suspicious software from pop-ups as well. Do not click on random advertisements you are provided with even if they do not look dangerous at all because you might initiate the installation of an untrustworthy program with the single mouse click. Some suspicious programs are, undoubtedly, harder to prevent from entering the system than others, so, please, do not keep your system unprotected.
