myMoviesCenter Search

Posted: March 12, 2018

The myMoviesCenter Search is a dubious browser add-on, which can only be used by Google Chrome users currently. However, we advise against using this particular extension since it will not offer any irreplaceable features and users who install it might end up being disappointed with the changes that the myMoviesCenter Search brings. This add-on is offered by Myappzcenter.com, and it also can be found on the Chrome Store. The description mentions that the myMoviesCenter Search is meant to enhance the users' ability to search for movie-related information by modifying their search settings. Although this may sound useful, the search engine that the myMoviesCenter Search promotes might not be as convenient as Google, Yahoo or Bing, and the results it displays might not always be reliable.

The myMoviesCenter Search is programmed to set Google's default search settings to Search.myappzcenter.com. This means that whenever you use the address bar to start a search, you will be taken to this domain instead of your current search engine. However, this change is not unsafe, and it does not expose you to potentially harmful content or other online dangers. However, it might have an adverse impact on the quality of your Web searches, and this is why the usage of the myMoviesCenter Search is not recommended.

If you have installed this add-on and wish to revert the changes it made to Chrome, then you need to dispose of it either manually or with the help of a suitable PC security application that is able to identify and remove Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
