Screen Watch Now

Screen Watch Now is a browser add-on which offers to provide users with access to numerous free-to-play online games that don't require a download in order to be played. However, it is questionable how the add-on offers this content – it replaces Google Chrome's new tab page with an alternative one which hosts links to various online gaming platforms. While this might still sound convenient, you should keep in mind that all of the gaming portals there can be accessed without installing Screen Watch Now. In addition to not doing anything special, Screen Watch Now also attempts to get its users to use a particular new tab page which is not as reputable as Yahoo, Bing, Google, or other typical websites that are set as the default new tab.

The page that Screen Watch Now promotes is a Mysearch.com based search engine. Its landing page welcomes users with a search field, links to popular web destinations, and a toolbar which contains links to various online game libraries. In addition to the dubious actions it performs, Screen Watch Now is also classified as a potentially unwanted program by major names in the cyber security industry, so you should not be surprised if your antivirus software recommends this add-on's removal.

The company behind Screen Watch Now is also behind several other extensions which are meant to provide similar functionality, yet all they really do is to replace Chrome's default new tab page:

• Screen Dream
• Seen on Screen
• Your Daily Trailer
• Screen Addict

If you have any of the extensions listed in this article installed, then you should consider removing them since this is the quickest way to ensure that they won't tamper with your browser's configuration again. Their removal can be completed either manually or with the help of an up-to-date cyber security product.
