What is filmsNet Search?
Potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) find their ways to the computer unnoticed. The filmsNet Search extension is yet another PUP, which you have most likely installed by accident, and, if you are wondering what to do next, continue reading to find our recommendations.
The filmsNet Search extension enables you to access free content which, in most cases, would be available at a certain price. Not only filmsNet Search enables you to access video content, but also modifies the settings of the Chrome browser so that your search terms are redirected through an additional server before the Yahoo search generates related results. Such changes on the browser are usually not accepted by computer users, and, if you are also unsatisfied with this potentially unwanted program, do not hesitate to remove it from the browser.
How does filmsNet Search spread?
The browser extension is promoted at medianetnow.com, which is very similar to superappbox.com, njoyapps.com, and some other websites promoting almost identical programs. The filmsNet Search application has its counterparts, including moviesNetSearch, musicNet Search, and netGaming Search, promoted on the same website. However, avoiding this website only slightly reduces the risk of encountering filmsNet Search, or any other application, because the Google Chrome store is another source of the browser extension. You have probably considered the Chrome store a reputable source and have not raised doubts about its trustworthiness. Google seeks to provide its customers with satisfying web browser-related products but invites its users to have a look at to the ratings and reviews of the item of interests just to make sure that the selected item is safe to use.
How does filmsNet Search work?
As the name itself suggests, filmsNet Search allows access to movies and videos, which can be searched by category, including Fantasy, Action, Drama, etc. The service of filmsNet Search is accessible with a single click, because the extension adds its button next to the URL address box to be at your fingertips. Interested viewers can get acquainted with the terms of use and the privacy policy of the service, and share their findings with friends on social media websites.
Additionally, the browser extension may collect some information about your interest and use of the service. That means that you search terms and preferences may be analyzed by MediaNetNow for some statistical purposes.
As for the changes made within the browser, the filmsNet Search extension makes Yahoo the default search engine, which is widely accepted by numerous Internet users. However, in the present case, filmsNet Search redirects every search term to an additional search engine so that you are given modified search results with many paid links, some of which may be unrelated to the search term. Those paid links, or rather the websites to which they take you, are managed by separate policies that are not related to MediaNetNow. That means that you browse those websites at your own risk, and any damage caused is your own responsibility. If you want to prevent unexpected redirections to deceptive websites, you should restore your former browser settings. That you can do after removing filmsNet Search, and the sooner you do it, the better.
