MoviesNow Search

Posted: January 30, 2018

The MoviesNow Search by Playzonenow.com is a dubious browser extension, which only works with Google Chrome. Users might be interested in giving this extension a try because it promises to provide them with access to rich movie databases, which can help them find reviews, trailers, and other information regarding past and upcoming movies and TV series. However, the usefulness of the MoviesNow Search is questionable due to one simple fact – this extension may not host any of the information it claims to provide. Instead, it simply refers users to 3rd-party movie databases like IMDB and others. While this is not suspicious behavior, it is clear that the MoviesNow Search may be useless since all of the movie databases can be accessed without installing a dubious add-on like this one.

In addition to not offering anything valuable, the MoviesNow Search also may annoy users by modifying the Google Chrome's settings. While these changes aren't unsafe, they might prevent users from using their favorite search aggregator, because the MoviesNow Search will replace it with search.playzonenow.com.

Users who do not wish to keep on using the MoviesNow Search are advised to uninstall this extension by using the Google Chrome's extension manager. It also is possible to carry out its removal with the help of specialized PC security software that is capable of dealing with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
