Search By myMusic Extension
Search By myMusic Extension is not at all a new browser extension and somehow it has managed to slip our crosshairs so far. In fact, this questionable Google Chrome browser extension seems to have been released back in April, 2016. It has not become a popular tool, though, this may be one of the reasons we have not caught it before. However, we have seen dozens of very similar extensions emerging, including myMusic Start, moviesNet Search, and musicNet Start, which all seem to be the creation of the very same team. ...
Search.hideyoursearch.win
Your default search tool on Google Chrome will be changed to Search.hideyoursearch.win if you install the browser extension named hideyoursearch_DS from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hideyoursearchds/kofapcpifepghmlnmapibhhimlanmfap), its official website (http://hideyoursearch.win/), or it is successfully installed on your computer without your direct permission. It is quite a new extension, so it cannot be very popular yet. As a consequence, we are sure there are not many people who have installed this piece of software on their computers voluntarily. ...
My Symptom Checker
My Symptom Checker is supposed to be a healthy life-related Google Chrome browser extension providing you with easy access to useful websites and web search capability, but we have found that it may not be as reliable as it wants to seem.

Still, keeping this PUP in your browser might introduce you to potentially harmful web content, such as third-party advertisements and compromised links. ...

First, it is not very beneficial even though it promises to allow users to perform web searches from their browsers’ URL bars. Second, thorough research conducted by researchers working at 411-spyware.com has shown that this piece of software is a potentially unwanted program. Most probably, 15 604 users who installed it from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-4newtab/ipfobdkmlckfpjpobngkhodnocngbiip?utm_source=inline-install-disabled) did not know that it is not fully trustworthy. ...

MySportTab
MySportTab is promoted as a tool allowing the user to “find the latest sports information online and enjoy Web Search from one Free Chrome New Tab!” Our specialists say the provided features might disappoint the user after installing this extension since you can create a similar tab and get the news related to sport just the same without it as well. To be more precise, it appears to be the application provides a simple search engine and a toolbar with a couple of links to web pages related to sports, which you could bookmark with your browser and reach just the same without having to keep MySportTab installed. ...
nJoyMusic Now
At first sight, nJoyMusic Now might seem like a great tool, and the positive reviews on the Chrome web store might reassure you about it. You might acquire the extension from its official download website, njoyapps.com – where it is promoted along with nJoyMovies Now and nJoyGames Now – or you could find on the Chrome web store at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/njoymusic-now/lhklfkdffohhlleihibccljmellhnkhg. Unfortunately, you could also let it in without realizing it, and it could come bundled with malware. ...
nJoyMusic Search Plus
nJoyMusic Search Plus claims to be a “powerful search engine, offering you a variety of unique features and browsing tools.” However, our specialists doubt it is as powerful and unique as it says to be since the application appears to be another clone of potentially unwanted programs that we have tested quite recently, e.g., nJoyFilm Now, nJoyMovies Now, nJoySport Search, and others. We will discuss the browser extensions provided tools further in the article, but before we begin, it is essential to mention nJoyMusic Search Plus is compatible only with Google Chrome and so cannot affect other browsers. ...
StreamFrenzy
Are you interested in streaming music for free? If you are, installing StreamFrenzy might seem like a great idea, but it is not. You are likely to be introduced to this potentially unwanted program via a pop-up that could be shown on any website. The installer of this PUP could also be used by unreliable software distributors, who could use a relatively attractive extension to open a backdoor for malicious infections. Obviously, if malware slithers into your operating system along with the add-on, you need to remove it as soon as possible. Hopefully, that is not something you need to worry about, and you can focus on deleting StreamFrenzy. ...
