Computer users that notice that their homepage and search provider have been changed to Search.mpc.am may want to check their 'Control Panel' for the MPC Cleaner and MPC AdCleaner programs. Both programs come with a browser plug-in called MPC Safe Navigation that is associated with Search.mpc.am. You may have installed the software from DotCash Limited along with a free audio and video player. The MPC Safe Navigation plug-in might edit your browser's settings to change your default start page and search provider to Search.mpc.am. That way, the developers of the MPC Cleaner and MPC AdCleaner programs can earn affiliate marketing revenue by providing sponsored search results and commercials on Search.mpc.am while you surf the Internet.
Computer experts recognize MPC Cleaner, and MPC AdCleaner as Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and the MPC Safe Navigation plug-in might prevent you from accessing Google, Bing and Yahoo. Therefore, MPC Safe Navigation has browser hijacking capabilities, and you may not like its functionality. At Search.mpc.am you will not benefit from the connected service found on Bing and Google and may be redirected to harmful domains. The MPC Safe Navigation plug-in may not be as safe as you would imagine, and may keep track of your search criteria to load pop-up windows with advertising content. You might want to avoid using the Search.mpc.am search engine and want to remove the MPC Safe Navigation browser plug-in. Computer users should install a reliable anti-spyware solution that can delete all components of MPC Cleaner and MPC AdCleaner and improve your security.
