What is nJoyMusic Search Plus?
It is possible that nJoyMusic Search Plus can show up in your Google Chrome browser and you cannot remember installing it. In all fairness, we also need to mention that this browser extension can be installed officially, too. However, it happens quite often that such a tool is distributed in other, deceptive ways, which already makes it suspicious. Our malware specialists have found that this potentially unwanted program (PUP) belongs to a relatively new family that also includes nJoyMusic Now, nJoyMovies Search, and nJoyFilm Now, which are all promoted on the same site actually being one of several very similar websites. We do not claim that this is a dangerous and direct threat to your system but it may still put your system security at risk, not to mention the possibility of malware infections also being on board. We suggest that you act now and remove nJoyMusic Search Plus from your computer.
Where does nJoyMusic Search Plus come from?
You can find the promotional page at njoyapps.com. There are ten similar and identical tools promoted here, including the ones we have already mentioned. This webpage is very simple and resembles all the other ones we have found in this family. If you click on the "Add to Chrome" button, you get redirected to the respective Chrome web store page; in this case, to chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/njoymusic-search-plus/mmknijdjkplcnomiifmhakkjdjccfeak. Similarly to all other PUPs in this family, once you think you have installed the extension, you get taken to another page like "games.iezbrowsing.com/wim/lp/offer/special.php?t=gomusix&ref=unknown&ct=ye61strtrfnrml.118." This page is a pushy promotion of yet another useless tool. You are led to believe here that the installation is only 60% done and you need to install this other extension to finish. This is rather misleading and an aggressive way to promote PUPs. But, if this is not enough for you to delete nJoyMusic Search Plus, let us tell you more.
We have found this PUP spreading in questionable and deceptive ways, too. It means that it is possible to even unknowingly install this tool. For example, when you are presented with a pop-up on a questionable page that tells you that you need to update your Adobe Flash driver or install security software because there has been suspicious activities detected on your system. Of course, all these claims are bogus. However, if you are not an experienced user, you may fall for these tricks and click the Install or Yes button. You may also click on other types of unsafe third-party ads (banner, pop-up, hyperlink, etc.) on suspicious websites and download a full bundle of PUPs and malware infections as a result. It is also easier for you to be exposed to such unreliable content when your PC is already infected with malware like adware. Therefore, we suggest that you scan your system with a trustworthy malware scanner tool after you delete nJoyMusic Search Plus from your browser.
How does nJoyMusic Search Plus work?
This new PUP promotes a questionable online music website, gomusix.com. It changes your homepage, new tab page, and default search engine settings as well in your Google Chrome browser. Practically, you will be pushed to use your address bar to search the web using the default engine, which, in this case, is musix.eanswers.com. You should know that this search engine forwards your queries to Yahoo and thus provides you with possibly modified results. This means that these results could be filled with promoted content like questionable third-party ads and links. Clicking on these could lead to further infections or you could open new tabs with fake and malicious websites, and get scammed. Hopefully, you understand now the potential threats and why we advise you to remove nJoyMusic Search Plus from your computer.
