The SportCenter Search program is designed to add a drop-down menu to Google Chrome and change your new tab settings to hxxp://sport.eanswers[.]com, which is a subpage of the news portal Eanswers.com. We monitor the extensions associated with Eanswers.com since the site is working with Yahoo to deliver search results and targeted advertisements.
