TheGameSearcher
TheGameSearcher is a potentially unwanted program or a PUP, in short, that may change your browser’s default search engine or other preferences to encourage you to surf the Internet with a modified search engine. However, the application’s descriptions suggest the tool lets the user “play free online games from” his Chrome address bar.

It appears that it was created to hijack the default search provider. ...
