gamingZone Search
The gamingZone Search Extension from Theappjunkies.com is another new tab replacement that diverts Web search requests to domains under Eanswers.com. The gamingZone Search Extension is programmed to change the user's default new tab page with Play.eanswers., which is used by several other gaming-themed new tab replacements we have seen in the past. The gamingZone Search Extension may be offered as a search enhancer and provide access to free games at Cantstopplaying.com. You may wish to know that gamingZone Search has more than a dozen clones that include gamingJunkie Search by Theappjunkies.com (a.k.a. netGaming Search by Medianetnow.com) and playJunkie Search by Theappjunkies.com (a.k.a. GamesMuze by Goamuze.com).
PC users who install the gamingZone Search Extension from Theappjunkies.com might notice that the Omnibox in Chrome includes a custom search by Eanswers.com. The gamingZone Search New Tab replacement is powered by Play.eanswers.com and may cause redirects to an insecure site called hxxp://www1.myprivatesearch[.]com if you click on the 'Private Search - OFF' button at the top right corner of the gamingZone Search New Tab page. The gamingZone Search Extension is known to reroute search requests from Play.eanswers.com to hxxps://search.yahoo[.]com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrEwVn04ChbNEEAGgo2nIlQ?p=[search terms]. It appears that the people behind the gamingZone Search Extension have arranged for Yahoo to handle search requests and allow Myprivatesearch[.]com to handle "private" search requests. Both engines incorporate tracking by advertisers, and you can't use the services recommended by gamingZone Search to run a truly private search. You may be interested in try out DuckDuckGo.com that is celebrated as one of the most convenient private search providers on par with Startpage.com. The gamingZone Search Extension from Theappjunkies.com is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that offers search services by Yahoo and links to games at Cantstopplaying.com. PC users are not required to install the gamingZone Search Extension if they want to play games on Cantstopplaying.com. You may want to remove gamingZone Search using help from a trustworthy anti-spyware instrument and delete persistent tracking cookies that can be used to track you across sites.
