What is Gameszone Search?
A browser extension and a search tool share the name Gameszone Search. If you ever install the browser extension named Gameszone Search directly from the Chrome Web store, or it manages to enter your system stealthily, your default search tool will be changed to Gameszone Search. Additionally, a button opening a small window with the search box will be installed on your web browser (the button can be found next to the URL bar). If you are sure you have not agreed with any of the changes you have found applied to your Google Chrome browser, you can delete the Gameszone Search extension and undo these modifications. This piece of software is not a real malicious application. Researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have decided to classify it as a potentially unwanted program after the research. These programs are not anywhere near malicious software, but specialists still do not recommend keeping them installed on the system. Luckily, potentially unwanted software can be removed quite easily. You surely do not need to be an expert in untrustworthy software removal to get rid of the Gameszone Search extension, we can assure you that.
What does Gameszone Search do?
Gameszone Search is advertised as a useful piece of software that not only enables users to search for the information on the web effectively, but also allows searching for “free unlimited games.” Our researchers have analyzed it carefully, but, unfortunately, they cannot confirm that the search tool promoted by this browser extension differs much from ordinary search providers, e.g. Google or Yahoo!. In fact, it has turned out that it might display some modified search results to users too, which is, actually, quite a huge drawback. These modified search results are not malicious, but it might take more time for you to find the information you are looking for if all that you see on the search results page are modified search results because they do not redirect to websites that contain useful information based on the search query entered. There is even a possibility that you will end up on an untrustworthy website against your will. Therefore, no matter how convenient Gameszone Search looks, you should get rid of it today and start using a more trustworthy search tool.
If you do not use Gameszone Search to search the web but let it stay set, you will not click on any modified Yahoo! search results it will present you with, but it will continue automatically collecting information about your computer and your online activities. Search providers usually record search queries, websites visited, geographic location extracted from the IP address, and a bunch of technical details about the computer used. Do not be surprised if they are shared with third parties too.
Where does Gameszone Search come from?
Your default search tool could have been changed to Gameszone Search if you have downloaded the browser extension having the same name from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gameszone-search/ldeeejbcjaiabjiipjijihgihhhjkpij?utm_source=inline-install-disabled) or its official website (http://www.njoyapps.com/); however, we are 100% sure a bunch of users do not know why this potentially unwanted program is installed on their PCs. Our malware analysts have confirmed that this piece of software might be propagated via software bundles as well. Users are the ones who install Gameszone Search on their computers, but, without a doubt, they do not know anything about this since they quickly go through installation steps without paying much attention to the provided information. Of course, some untrustworthy applications are installed completely silently. Do not let them enter your computer – install an antimalware tool.
