Posted: March 4, 2019

Mapsnow.co looks as if it is a recreation of the popularized Google maps site. However, Mapsnow.co is more of a plagiarized iteration of Google maps, which may utilize the API from Google but has a questionable purpose that may lead to unwanted activity on your web browser.

The components associated with Mapsnow.co, which are in the form of web browser extensions, are the culprit of being an annoyance to most computer users. Such components are known to load when installing ransom freeware apps that come bundled with add-on software. When loaded, the components of Mapsnow.co may modify Internet settings and cause the Mapsnow.co site to load automatically as a default home page or new tab page.

The activities of Mapsnow.co apart from the home page loading automatically may lead to unwanted pop-ups and advertisements. Such actions make the Mapsnow.co site questionable at best and usually warrants removal of the components associated with Mapsnow.co.

The process to eliminate Mapsnow.co and its components will often require using an antispyware program that can automatically seek them out and remove them automatically thus allowing the user to elect their desired Internet settings.
