Media Viewer Image

Media Viewer is adware that may compromise online searches of the PC user by replacing search results in any well-known search engine with sponsored links forcibly redirecting the computer user to questionable websites that may be commercial. Media Viewer may insert a potentially unwanted add-on, plug-in or extension in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome Web browsers when computer users install various free applications from suspicious download websites on the Internet. When computer users install any free programs from questionable download websites, they may also install Media Viewer on their PCs. Once installed, Media Viewer may take over and change an online search box in any genuine search provider and replace it with its own. Media Viewer may display intrusive pop-up advertisements and messages, and unwillingly reroute PC users to unknown websites created to possibly earn money from increased web traffic and ad clicks.
