musicNet Now

Posted: February 13, 2018

The musicNet Now extension by njoyapps.com may promise to help users find great music and playlists that can be listened online for free but, in reality, the only notable change it brings to Web browsers is to replace the user's new tab page with a 3rd-party website whose reputation is far from excellent. While the change that the musicNet Now is known to bring is not unsafe, most users are likely to find it annoying since the new tab page that this extension promotes is unlikely to be as reliable and functional as Google, Bing, Yahoo, or other commonly used new tab pages.

In addition to bringing unwanted changes, you should also know that the musicNet Now has been listed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by major companies in the cybersecurity field so that this should be another valid reason why you should stay away from this software. Last but not least, the music-streaming features that the musicNet Now claims to provide are offered by 3rd-party services and websites, and you can use them without installing The musicNet Now add-on.

If you have installed the musicNet Now recently and wish to get rid of it, then we suggest that you attempt to take care of this manually by using Chrome's add-on manager to dispose of this add-on. If this does not function, you can always rely on your favorite PC security scanner to clean your computer off of PUPs like the musicNet Now.
