How does FilmsNet Start work?
FilmsNet Start is created by MediaNetNow, and this company has also released musicNet Search, netGaming Search, moviesNet Search, and musicNet Start extensions, which, unsurprisingly, are identified as potentially unwanted programs as well. All of them can be downloaded from medianetnow.com or the Chrome web store pages representing every extension individually. It was found that FilmsNet Start is offered at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/filmsnet-start/iiigjoccgnjkohkbfglghdpnbehmlkfj. Of course, some users might be introduced to the suspicious add-on via pop-ups or even third-party installers. Regardless of how you installed the extension, it is a good idea to scan your operating system because unwanted pieces could be active. If they are, you might want to install trustworthy anti-malware software to have all of them removed at once. Although the suspicious PUP is not classified as a dangerous infection, the right anti-malware program will list it as a threat as well. One might accuse the PUP for being promoted in a misleading manner, which is true, considering that it does not enable access to watch movies for free as claimed. While that is a good reason to delete this add-on, it is not the one we want to focus on.
Our research team recommends that Google Chrome users remove FilmsNet Start because this extension exposes them to an unreliable search tool. Unfortunately, most users will not notice this at all because it redirects to Yahoo Search, which, of course, is known for being reliable. The thing is that the PUP redirects to it without your permission, and, on top of that, it also redirects via movie.eanswers.com to ensure that the Yahoo Search results are modified to include the sponsored content that MediaNetNow might be paid to advertise. Therefore, even though the PUP allows you to find somewhat useful movie-related information at net.gomovix.com, and it provides you with quick access to such popular sites as ebay.com, youtube.com, or instagram.com, trusting it is not recommended. On the contrary, it is recommended that you remove FilmsNet Start from your web browser immediately.

Our research team strongly recommends that you delete FilmsNet Start from your Google Chrome browser, and there are two main paths you can take. You can download and use an anti-malware program that will automatically eliminate all unreliable programs. Or you can erase all threats and PUPs yourself.
