Threat Database Browser Hijackers Free Music by Goeaglesearch.com

Free Music by Goeaglesearch.com

The 'Free Music' software from Goeaglesearch.com is published on the Chrome Web Store as a tool that helps you play free music. Some may think that Free Music by Goeaglesearch.com might load pirated content and get them in trouble with copyright holders. You should not fret because the Free Music extension by Goeaglesearch.com loads music from YouTube. Unlike Spotify, Hulu, Pandora, and others the Web portal on h[tt]p://web.goeaglesearch[.]com/musics/ loads content from third parties in a Spotify-like interface. The 'Free Music' program can be installed to Chrome from Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/free-music/aanmaonfkjeceaoepdldenjmliholbni, and it manifests as an icon in the navigation panel. Also, the app changes the new tab page to h[tt]p://goeaglesearch[.]com/musicsearch.htm and promotes the search engine on h[tt]p://www.iconssliding[.]net.

The new tab page from Goeaglesearch.com includes the official Google logo, but the site is not affiliated with Google Inc. The official site for the 'Free Music' software is known to welcome Web surfers to register using their Facebook account. You might want to avoid installing the 'Free Music' extension from Goeaglesearch.com since its official site does not mention the extension from Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/free-music/aanmaonfkjeceaoepdldenjmliholbni, but it does show the name GoEagleSearch in the top left corner. The site lacks a privacy policy and terms of use agreement, and the 'Free Music' extension is reported to hijack the default search. Web surfers have submitted complaints that the Goeaglesearch.com new tab can't be removed via the Extensions Manager and they were redirected to a dodgy copy of Google.com. As mentioned above, Goeaglesearch.com is not affiliated with Google Inc. and the site appears to help Web surfers download content from YouTube which is forbidden by the terms of service published on h[tt]ps://www.youtube[.]com/static?template=terms. Computer security experts categorize the Free Music extension by Goeaglesearch.com as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you may want to remove.
