My Movie Finder

Posted: March 2, 2018

The My Movie Finder, developed by My-movie-finder.com, is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that claims to offer users the means to "quickly and easily navigate to the latest movie review sites." After installing this Chrome browser extension, however, users will notice immediately some changes that they may not have authorized specifically as a result of the My Movie Finder taking over their Web browser.

First, no matter what the new tab settings have been, they will now be modified to open the following link - 'h[tt]p://my-movie-finder[.]com/newTab.html.' The My Movie Finder also will tamper with the browser's default search engine, which results in all search queries made by the user being redirected to 'h[tt]]s://www.bing[.]com/search?q=[search terms]&PC=.' Having My Movie Finder installed on your machine also may result in various advertisements being displayed as notifications in the Web browser.

While being a PUP means that My Movie Finder doesn't pose a threat to your security, it is still recommended to remove it as soon as possible. The best way to do so is through a legitimate anti-malware software.
