netGaming Search

The netGaming Search browser extension from Medianetnow.com is promoted to help users find free games on the Internet. The netGaming Search extension can be found on Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netgaming-search/hhkjmcppnpikbcnnjbmhggbcjhdkhpcm, and it modifies the new tab page settings, as well as add a new search engine to the Omnibox. The netGaming Search extension is an ad-supported program that changes your new tab to play.eanswers.com that is identical to games.eanswers.com. Additionally, you will find that the Omnibox may generate search results from play.eanswers.com. The play.eanswers.com domain and its clone on games.eanswers.com work as redirect-gateways to Yahoo. The netGaming Search might manifest as a new icon on the navigation panel in Google Chrome and add a drop-down menu with links to cantstopplaying.com.

The netGaming Search application is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Medianetnow.com that is promoted via Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netgaming-search/hhkjmcppnpikbcnnjbmhggbcjhdkhpcm and leads users to sponsored search results on Yahoo. The company behind netGaming Search is using more than twenty proxies to publish browser extensions, redirect Web surfers to Eanswers.com and then to Yahoo. That way, the Web traffic from one device can benefit advertisers on multiple pages and increase the ad revenue for whoever is deploying the programs. The netGaming Search extension is known to have thee other versions under the Medianetnow.com brand name, which can be found on:

• gamesPro Search — Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gamespro-search/pgdbomlcailbhihagccohnopmpglcbji
• gamingZone Start — Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gamingzone-start/nhhboodmfnbbdoibnnikbchlocibjhbh
• playNet Start — Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/playnet-start/gnpphmgipfaoobhhkcfcbllckjjkddlg

There are several other clones, which are published through proxies including Njoyapps.com, Theappjunkies.com, Playmediacenter.com, Betterappz.com and Getapponline.com. The browser redirects executed by products associated with Eanswers.com are not likely to put Web surfers in danger.
