The Music Search App is a potentially unwanted toolbar developed and distributed by Bandoo Media. Bandoo is a company whose name is often associated with potentially unwanted programs, toolbars, and adware, so their reputation isn't very good. Unfortunately, it seems like the Music Search App toolbar is not a step in the right direction, and this tool probably won't help them improve their reputation. The Music Search App toolbar relies on stealth installations, and it is distributed mostly via software bundles, so many users might unknowingly agree to have this browser installed in their web browser.
Once the Music Search App toolbar is installed, it may change the web browser's homepage and default search engine without the user's consent. It will also add a toolbar to the web browser's interface that provides the user with quick access to a search feature, lyrics search, and a music-finding platform. The Music Search App toolbar may provide users with some useful utilities, but it has its negative sides as well, so it is up to users to determine whether they'd like to keep this toolbar or not. Music Search App toolbar's suspicious methods of propagation and browser hijacking capabilities make this app rather suspicious, so its removal is recommended by experts in the cyber security field.
