New Browse Search Extension

The New Browse Search is a browser hijacker often bundled with free software downloaded off the Internet. When it is installed on a computer, the New Browse Search will set the search engine and homepage of the affected browser to mps.eanswers.com. Some of the free downloads from unofficial sources do not disclose their software bundle content as it is installed so that users may find themselves surprised to find it installed in their browser. Although users may find it in the Google Chrome store and other places on the Internet, a willing installation of the extension should be avoided despite the 'features' its creators claim.

The New Browse Search is connected to EZBrowsing from www.ezbrowsing.com, which also is known for spreading over the Internet. It is essentially the same as the New Browse Search, but it runs its searches from a mirror domain. The New Browse Search is used for online profit so that there is no reason to allow its presence on the affected computers. Users should take steps to remove them from their computers and return to the original settings.

After the New Browse Search browser hijacker is installed on a machine, the most common symptoms seen include changing the search provider of the browser, as well as the search box to mps.eanswers[dot]com, ability to modify the functionality on the new tabs opened on a browser by launching the modified search engine instead. It loads into the Web browser through an add-on or an extension. You also may see messages on the browser status bar that claim 'Waiting for New Browse Search,' as well as 'Connected to New Browse Search,' 'Transferring data from New Browse Search,' 'Read New Browse Search' and 'Looking up New Browse Search.' The New Browse Search Chrome add-on redirects the users to http://games.njoyap.com/wim/lp/offer/?t1=26&t=gomovix after the app is added to the browser.
