MoreResults

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The MoreResults application is a Web browser extension that promotes itself as a tool, which will help you get more results every time you search the Web. However, some users may fail to notice that in the description of the MoreResults add-on, its creators have mentioned that the additional results in question are ‘sponsored.’ This is a vague way of saying that the MoreResults Web browser extension will provide you with more advertisements whenever you execute a search inquiry.

The MoreResults Web browser extension, essentially, is an adware that may become rather annoying pretty quickly. The MoreResults add-on is designed to inject advertisements every time you browse the Web. This may not sound too bad since most websites display advertisements, but the advertisements spawned by the MoreResults Web browser add-on may overlay some important parts of sites such as menus and other interactive content. This can reduce your browsing quality significantly. The advertisements affiliated with the activity of this adware may come in different forms – annoying pop-up windows, flashing alerts, hyperlinks in text, various banners and others. Adware is often associated with unsafe content such as bogus raffles, pornographic content, platforms hosting illicit pirated media, etc. This is why it is advisable to avoid the advertisements promoted by the MoreResults Web browser extension.

The MoreResults Web browser add-on can be classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program), so it is best to remove it. You can use a legitimate anti-malware tool that will locate the PUP and remove it, or you can do it yourself manually via your Web browser’s configurations.
