The MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar is a program that is promoted to help users find movies quickly by using the integrated search at Movie.eanswers.com. The MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar can be found in the Chrome Web Store at Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/moviesfriendly-search/okkfdmbpfpmffjboloifipdhpbjnenie and its official page at www[.]friendlyappz[.]com. You should note that the MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar is an ad-supported program that allows the company behind Eanswers.com to make a profit by redirecting users to:
Search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-1&type=rjs996_0_OTW_A1&p=[KEYWORD]
The MoviesFriendly Search extension is designed to change your primary search provider to Movie.eanswers.com and reroute your searches to a customized version of Yahoo. Many Web surfers may not find Yahoo superior to Google and Bing and think that their searches are being hijacked. In reality, the MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar is responsible for the browser redirects. Computer security analysts note that the MoviesFriendly Search extension is promoted on Friendlyappz.com that is a slightly altered clone of Superappbox.com and Medianetnow.com. Both sites are part of a broad network of portals designed to reroute Web traffic to Eanswers.com and Yahoo. The MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar behaves identically to the StreamJunkie Search from Theappjunkies.com, nJoy Movies Search from Njoyapps.com and FilmsApp Home from Superappbox.com. All extensions mentioned before appear to be published by the same company. The MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that aims to divert search queries to Yahoo, Eanswers.com, and associated adverting networks. PC users who are not satisfied with the MoviesFriendly Search Toolbar may wish to remove it and its tracking cookies using a trustworthy anti-spyware scanner.
