BestMusic Search

Posted: April 19, 2017

The BestMusic Search is a browser extension that also may be distributed under the name 'MyMedia Search Plus.' Judging by the names that the software uses, it is probably supposed to help people search the Web for media (mostly music), and listen to it online or download it to their computers. However, the installation of the BestMusic Search may not enhance the user's ability to search the Web since it may only introduce one major change to the Web browser – it may set apps.searchalgo.com as the default search engine provider.

This behavior is considered to be unwanted, especially since there's no way for users to know whether apps.searchalgo.com is a reliable search service provider or not. At the moment, the page appears to be safe, and it redirects all searches to Yahoo.com. However, there's no way to tell if this will change in the future or not, and it is entirely feasible that the owners of apps.searchalgo.com may opt to switch to a different strategy that may involve annoying ads or fraudulent search results.

At the end of the day, the BestMusic Search may not have anything of value to offer, and the only change it may bring is likely to be seen as negative by most people. If you have either the BestMusic Search or MyMedia Search Plus installed and you are looking for a way to remove them, then we can help. Since both of these programs are identified as Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs), it is not mandatory to use an anti-malware application to dispose of them. This task can be handled by going to your favorite Web browser's extension manager and uninstalling the unwanted extensions from there.
