Getofficex.org

Posted: March 1, 2019

Getofficex.org is a Web page that provides the visitors with access to a search engine, as well as quick links to popular and free online versions of Microsoft Office. However, you do not need to use Getofficex.org to access the free Microsoft Office tools so that you should not consider installing the ‘OfficeX’ addon if you only want to use the online versions of Microsoft Office. The primary issue with Getofficex.org is that it may end up showing in your Web browser on a regular basis because of the installation of a 3rd-party browser add-on that goes by the name ‘OfficeX.’ Contrary to its name, the OfficeX add-on does not have an official connection with the Microsoft Office. Instead, it is nothing more than a simple Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation may introduce undesired changes to your Web browser’s configuration.

OfficeX is available for Google Chrome, and its users might have to permit it to set Getofficex.org as their browser’s default new tab page. This change is not done with harmful intent, but the users might not enjoy it since Getofficex.org lacks many of the popular features offered by credible sites like Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, or other popular sites that are often used as the default new tab page.

If you wish to remove OfficeX and get rid of the Getofficex.org new tab, then you should consider removing this unwanted browser extension. You can do this not just manually, but also with the help of a reputable computer security scanner.
