Amazing Movie Search Extension

Posted: February 20, 2018

The Amazing Movie Search Extension by Amazeapps.com is a browser add-on whose installation might seem like a great option at first, but its users will realize quickly that the Amazing Movie Search Extension is not as useful as it seems. This add-on promises to provide users with access to online streaming movies, as well as with a collection of news and updates regarding upcoming movies and TV series. However, the catch is that none of the content mentioned above is owned by the Amazing Movie Search Extension and, instead, all the add-on does is to refer users to 3rd-party services and Web destinations. While this is not unsafe, it should make you wonder whether it is worth it to use a 3rd-party browser add-on whose only purpose is to take you to public websites, which you can access at any time.

In addition to having questionable functionality, the Amazing Movie Search Extension also might bother users by making potentially unwanted changes to their browser's settings. When this add-on is installed, it sets the Chrome's default search aggregator to Movix.emazesearch.com automatically, which is a working search engine that, however, does not seem to have an overwhelmingly positive reputation.

Although the Amazing Movie Search Extension is not harmful, it is easy to understand why most people would consider this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) undesirable. If you fall into this category, then we suggest that you take care of the Amazing Movie Search Extension's removal either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security product.
