Manuals Aid

What is Manuals Aid?

Do you need multiple instructions for devices and gadgets that you own? Only if you do does Manuals Aid sound useful. Officially, this extension is introduced to users at manualsaid.com, but to install it, the user has to go to chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/manuals-aid/lgfchlgonpcaplemnpkdaddjjelgflji. The description of the suspicious extension on the Chrome Web Store suggests that that it can provide users with a search tool that can help find manuals and links to instructions guides. It also claims to offer a “custom web search” that is represented via the New Tab on Google Chrome. Without a doubt, some people might find this extension to be intriguing and attractive. Have you downloaded it already? Whether or not that is the case, we strongly recommend that you read this report to understand why our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team suggests that you consider deleting Manuals Aid.test

How does Manuals Aid work?

Although Manuals Aid has an official website and an installer on the Chrome Web Store, it is possible that this PUP (potentially unwanted program) could be introduced to potential users via software bundles and suspicious file-sharing websites. Its installer could also be promoted using pop-ups and advertisements. All in all, regardless of how you install this extension, once it is in, it always acts the same. First and foremost, it changes the default search provider and sets manualsaid.com/newtab/v1/ag1obp.html? as the New Tab page. This page has an interface of a search engine with a search dialog box in the middle. Besides that, it displays a search box at the top, which you are supposed to use to find devices and gadgets, for which you need manuals and instruction guides. However, note that this search engine can only find guides and instructions on manualslib.com. If you bookmarked this website, you could still access all the manuals that you need, but you would be able to remove Manuals Aid.

The PUP also provides easy-access links to wikihow.com, facebook.com, gmail.com, google.com/maps, quickformsearch.com, and livenewseveryday.co, which do not really fit the theme. Of course, users might find them to be useful and convenient. According to our researchers, the creator of the PUP – which is Innover Group – has released numerous PUPs (e.g., Track Net Speed, Converter Suite, Ezy Photo Tab, etc.) that are supposed to offer convenient and seemingly useful links. However, not a single one of these extensions offers exclusive access to any of the sites. Another thing they have in common is that they all redirect users’ searches to Yahoo Search (search.yahoo.com). The results are not modified, but keep in mind that every time you enter a keyword, your browsing activity is recorded. Web cookies are employed by the company, and they can help the creator and the associated partners to learn your preferences and get to know you better. This is particularly important if you choose to enable the notifications shown by the PUP. If you do, all kinds of content, including advertisements, could be shown.
