What is musicFriendly Search?
According to musicFriendly Search description, it is an application that should help users find “music, songs, full albums, music videos.” As it is explained, all you need to do is “Go to the address bar then type 'm' press TAB on your keyboard, enter your query and get the results you are looking for.” We have no doubt the results you would get should be related to the picked keyword, but it seems to us you could find same information while using more trustworthy search tools like Google or Yahoo. As for musicFriendly Search, the extension falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) because it might show irritating advertisements and there is a chance it could be distributed through unreliable channels. To learn more about it we invite you to continue reading our article, but if you have already decided to remove it, we would recommend sliding a bit below the article where you will find the provided deletion instructions.
Where does musicFriendly Search come from?
Currently, musicFriendly Search is available on Chrome Web Store page and a website titled friendlyappz.com. The reason you will not find it on, for example, Mozilla Firefox Add-ons web page is because the extension is compatible only with Google Chrome. Moreover, it is quite usual for PUPs to be distributed with suspicious pop-up ads or bundled setup files. To be more precise, there is a chance you might come across it accidentally when downloading and installing various doubtful applications from P2P file-sharing networks and other untrustworthy sources. Consequently, to avoid PUPs, adware, browser hijackers, and so on we recommend staying away from questionable file-sharing websites. Additionally, if you do not have a legitimate antimalware tool, you could consider acquiring one since it could warn about various threats and help you maintain the system’s security.
How does musicFriendly Search work?
Once the PUP is installed, it might change user’s homepage or even default search engine with the following web pages: f.gomusix.com/search and music.eanswers.com. Also, as mentioned earlier, the extension provides a feature allowing to search via musicFriendly Search provided search engine by typing letter M, space, and your keyword into the browser's address bar. If we understand correctly, the results you receive after doing so should be strictly related to music. In truth, such feature looks rather useless to us, because you can type any keyword, add a word music, song, singer, etc., and you will get results related to music or musician while using any other search engine. The difference is by searching the Internet with musicFriendly Search provided tool you might receive suspicious advertising content belonging to the third party. We cannot be one hundred present sure, but there is a chance some of these ads could originate from malicious web pages, sites offering to participate in fake lotteries or surveys, and so on. Naturally, clicking them could endanger your system and expose it to threats.
