Posted: June 16, 2017

Grooviemovie.info is a website that promotes the Groovie Movie browser add-on, a utility that is supposed to enhance the users' Web browser by providing them with quick access to the latest movie updates and trailers available on the Internet. However, it is important to mention that the Groovie Movie software is identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by countless anti-virus product vendors, and many users who've installed this extension ended up discovering that it may make unwanted changes to their Web browser's configuration.

The good news is that the change Groovie Movie brings is not unsafe necessarily, but some users might find it rather annoying. Users who opt to install the product offered by Grooviemovie.info may be prompted to allow the extension to change their default new tab page to 'Search.Grooviemovie.info.' It is impossible to complete the installation without agreeing to this so that, basically, using Groovie Movie requires you to use a 3rd-party new tab page.

The search engine set as the default new tab page appears to work fine, and we did not encounter anything suspicious during our tests. Search.grooviemovie.info does not host any ads and using the search feature redirects users to Google.com. On top of the Search.grooviemovie.info page, users will find quick links to online Internet speed tests, as well as links to online virus scanning services.

Users who do not wish to use Search.grooviemovie.info or the Groovie Movie extension should take the needed steps to uninstall the extension from their computers. Manual removal is recommended, but users who do not wish to deal with that will be glad to hear that they also can use a credible anti-virus tool to dispose of the PUP.
