The DownloadMuze Search Plus is supposed to be a useful Chrome add-on. Yet, in practice, this app is nothing but trouble. DownloadMuze Search Plus is classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). This PUP is not just potentially unwanted. You definitely wouldn’t wish to keep this parasite on board. DownloadMuze Search Plus is ad-supported. To generate revenue for its owners, it will drown its users into a sea of advertisements. We are not exaggerating. Ads in every form and size will soon cover your screen. Every website you visit will be covered in ad banners. Random website text will be turned into hyperlinks. You won’t be able to finish reading any online article. Not with all the in-text ads the adware injects. This pesky app will even pause your online videos to display commercials. The adware will ruin your online experience. But it does more than that. It jeopardizes your privacy too. That’s right. The simple ad-displaying app can be a threat. It collects information about you and sells the data to third parties. With this adware on board, there is nothing private. Do not tolerate it. Remove the adware immediately. If you act promptly, you can do it relatively easy. If you postpone the removal, however, the issues will escalate. Follow our guide for manual removal or download a trustworthy anti-malware app. Take action now or you will regret it later!
How did I get infected with DownloadMuze Search Plus?
The DownloadMuze Search Plus has an official download. However, most of its victims have no idea how this tool has managed to enter their devices. This is to be expected, of course. The DownloadMuze Search Plus PUP uses stealthy techniques to reach its victims. Freeware/shareware bundling, spam messages, and torrents are just the most commonly used ones. These techniques, however, cannot infect your PC without your assistance. You are the one who is responsible for the state your web browser is in. We are not blaming you. We are trying to open your eyes. Other, much more dangerous parasites are using these same methods to travel the Internet. Whenever you are installing a program, opt for advanced installation. If you prefer the standard setup, change your habits. The standard option is automatic. It will install any program that hitched a ride with the app you’ve downloaded. Under the custom option, you will be presented with a list of all applications that are about to be installed. Before you give your consent, do some research. Read the terms and conditions. Deselect all suspicious programs. If you have a bad feeling about an app, abort the installation. Better safe than sorry.
Why is DownloadMuze Search Plus dangerous?
The DownloadMuze Search Plus PUP is a menace that has no place on your computer. This furtive app is exposing both your privacy and security at risk. As we already mentioned, the PUP collects information about you. It has turned your web browser into a spying device. Everything you do online is now recorded, analyzed and sold. Thus, if you use your PC to pay the bills or to buy a product online, the PUP will record your billing address, credit card information, username, and password. Can you imagine this information becoming a possession of a hacker? If such an event occurs, the outcome will be devastating. You will lose money. You may even become a victim of identity theft. And there is more. The PUP causes more issues than you might think. Any ad displayed by the furtive app is potentially dangerous. DownloadMuze Search Plus does not check what is being advertised via its services. Hackers use such programs to spread malicious content. One click is all it takes for a virus to be downloaded. One single click on the wrong advert and your computer gets infected. There is no way to tell which ads are corrupted. Therefore, remove the DownloadMuze Search Plus utility ASAP! It ruins your online experience, slows your computer and browser down, and exposes your security at risk. There is no reason to keep it. The sooner it is gone, the better!
