Trials of the iSportTV Search Plus Extension showed that it adds a new icon to the navigation panel and urges PC users to add a third-party product called AmazingFilms Search by Amazeappz.com and Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amazingfilms-search/oacgkhambnkkjbindjdifhfofepmelog. You may be shown a progress bar suggesting that the installation of iSportTV Search Plus is only 60% complete, and you need to add AmazingFilms Search by Amazeappz.com. However, that is not true, and iSportTV Search Plus is already installed. If you proceed to add AmazingFilms Search, it makes a second change of the default search in Chrome to search.amazeappz.com. In reality, Amazeappz.com and Ienjoyapps.com reroute users to sites that are operated by the same company behind Searchalgo.com. You may want to know that the iSportTV Search Plus Extension redirects users to h[tt]p://i.tvnoop[.]com/tv/search/[search terms] that lacks the support of TV channels dedicated to sports content such as ESPN, FOX Soccer Plus, Outdoor Channel and RTN. Instead, users are given access to video feeds from Filmon.tv with low resolution (640x480p) and are urged to commit paying 18 USD every month. The 18 USD subscription is supposed to allow users watch feeds from Filmon.tv in HD format and remove ads. You might wish to remove the iSportTV Search Plus Extension and avoid subscribing to the Filmon.tv services. Removing the iSportTV Search Plus Extension and stopping the redirects to I.tvnoop.com can be done through a reliable anti-spyware solution.
