There are quite a few ways for this application to enter your system. Because of these different distribution methods, the program makes an impression that it is a potential security threat or even a malware infection. However, quite often users allow MovieCenter Search to enter their systems, but they are not aware of that. Hence, let us take a closer look at how this browser extension spreads around.

First, you can find the extension at its official homepage. The page is located at playmediacenter.com. The official website also tells you more about the extension, and you may even get the impression that it is quite useful. It says that MovieCenter Search “will make your everyday browsing experience easier, faster and enjoyable.” Also, the developers say that they are “sure you will find them very useful and practice. You can add these extensions from Chrome store, always free and always easy to add.” So, it is not just the official website there you can find the application. It is also available in the Chrome Web Store, which makes it even harder to label it as malware!

Nevertheless, if you do not remember adding MovieCenter Search to your system, it is probably because the program arrived bundled in a software package. It is a very common distribution method employed by potentially unwanted programs. At the same time, it also means that there might be more potentially harmful programs installed on your computer. This browser extension could be the least of your worries. Hence, when you remove MovieCenter Search from your computer, you should scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner to see just how many undesirable apps are on-board.

What could be the consequences of keeping an unwanted program on your computer? Well, if you take a look at how MovieCenter Search behaves, you will soon see that it can expose you to a number of threats. For instance, the application changes your search provider to play.eanswers.com, and this is not an original search engine. It is just an empty shell that uses a modified version of the Yahoo! Search to provide you with modified search results.

These results are modified for advertising purposes, but there is always a chance that some of the search results could be exploited by cyber criminals, too. Please note that MovieCenter Search does not try to infect you with malware. The program is simply being exploited because it is vulnerable.

Do not let this vulnerability transfer onto you, too. Remove MovieCenter Search right now and then make sure that all the other unwanted applications get deleted from your system at once.
