Where does Cinema Now come from?
You might wonder why we mention other unwanted programs. That is because Cinema Now can be distributed bundled with freeware applications. Cinema Now has its own homepage at app-static.crossrider.com/apps/61360/terms/eula, but it is very unlikely that users download this application directly.
Cinema Now is published by Mau Apps, and it is based on the Crossrider engine. There are many other adware applications from the Crossrider family, including Freeven Pro 1.4, Ge-Force, Cinemax, and so on. It is obvious that Cinema Now comes from the sub-group of adware applications that promise to enhance your online video viewing. Needless to say, none of these programs live up to their promises.
What does Cinema Now do?
It should be pointed out that Cinema Now is not a malicious infection, because it has an installation wizard and users are presented with the License Agreement when Cinema Now is about to be installed. Thus, we can assume that most of the time users install this application accidentally because they go through freeware installation steps automatically.
As a result, Cinema Now adds extensions to Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer (Google Chrome does not seem to be compatible with this application). Afterwards, the application starts collecting data on your web browsing habits, so that it would be able to display customized commercial advertisements.
Commercial pop-ups are the main security concern associated with Cinema Now, and it is the primary reason users complain about this application. Cinema Now ads may contain links to unreliable websites, so not only are they annoying, they pose potential security threats as well. In this case, it is obvious why you must remove Cinema Now.
How do I uninstall Cinema Now?
This application can be removed via Control Panel, but that may not be the end of it. After manual removal, you are strongly advised to scan your computer with a licensed antispyware tool because you need to terminate all the associated programs and files.
Acquiring a computer security tool of your choice is always the best shot when you need to safeguard your computer against various threats. If you need any assistance with Cinema Now removal or you have computer security-related questions, please leave us a comment.
