Users who try to search the Internet for free-to-watch movies and TV series may often come across suspicious content such as malware or less threatening applications like Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs.) MovieSearchTV falls into the latter category. This is a browser extension, which promises to help users discover entertaining streaming movies and series, but, in reality, it reconfigures Web browsers to use an alternative search service and new tab page.

The pages that MovieSearchTV promotes are found at Feed.moviesearchtv.com and Portal.moviesearchtv.com. Both of them deliver results thanks to Yahoo Search. While it is safe to use them in their current state, it is impossible to guarantee that their features will not change in the future. It is recommended to stick to using credible search engines and websites, which are not affiliated with PUPs like MovieSearchTV.

While MovieSearchTV may not be dangerous, it is certainly an intrusive application, which does not offer any helpful features. It is recommended to remove it with the use of a reputable PC security scanner.
