Computer security researchers warn that the gamesZone Search program is a re-branded copy of the iPlay Search and the iGames Search by ienjoyapps.com. Moreover, the code in gamesZone Search is almost the same as the code in the GoPlay Search browser extension and the iPlay Search browser extension by bettersearchtools.com. Evidence suggests that these products are created by the same developers who are associated with several companies. Clones of the gamesZone Search have been found on the Chrome Web Store on the following pages:

• nJoyGames Now - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/njoygames-now/cjhdpmmfmlokoljhgiiddcmldidphggp.
• nJoyGames Search - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/njoygames-search/ppfmejihdmabiolobgpjgfcknoaejefk.

The gamesZone Search software is programmed to alter the new tab page and search settings to games.eanswers.com, which is a customized version of Searchalgo.com. The Searchalgo.com site is related to many cases of browser hijacking, and it is perceived as an unreliable search provider. The gamesZone Search program and its clones (nJoyGames Search and nJoyGames Now) are classified as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUPs) that are ad-supported products of questionable companies. Computer users that install the gamesZone Search might be invited to add nJoyGames Now and nJoyGames Search as complementary components.

The gamesZone Search extension may offer access to content on cantstopplaying[.]com that we have mentioned in our articles on the GoPlay Search and the iPlay Search browser extensions. The gamesZone Search may perform unwanted redirects via games.eanswers.com, then searchalgo.com and finally search.yahoo.com. Web surfers that are not comfortable with using the gamesZone Search may want help from a reputable anti-spyware solution with removing unwanted programs safely.
