Find Manuals Now’s unwanted installation

Findmanualsnow.com is an adware site that hijacks your browser’s new tab page when you install Find Manuals Now. It does little other than promote Yahoo.com. Findmanualsnow.com is made by Innover Group, which has already released a few potentially unwanted browser extensions, including Manuals Aid and Flight Tab Pro, which are no better than Find Manuals Now.

Findmanualsnow.com gets advertised online, on manual sites as well as by alternative search engines. If your browser was already infected with Hidemyhistory.co, Safeplexsearch.com, Kensaq.com, or a similar search hijacker, you would have had a good chance of seeing an ad for Findmanualsnow.com (and many other suspicious add-ons) in your search results.

The way that Find Manuals Now is advertised can easily trick people to install it without meaning to. Findmanualsnow.com looks like it promises to quickly take you to the page that has manuals on it. But it opens the interface for browser add-on installation instead.

This borders on deceptive installation. This is problematic – browser add-ons are so easy to install that accidental and unintentional installation is very possible. At the same time, add-ons can be pretty powerful, so it’s no joke when one infects a browser.

Browser hijacking

When Find Manuals Now gets installed, it changes your new tab page to Findmanualsnow.com. Instead of opening a site with online manuals, Findmanualsnow.com just replaces your new tab. It uses this new tab to promote the Yahoo search engine – as do many other hijackers.

Sure, Findmanualsnow.com does provide some functionality relevant to online manuals: it features links to various manual sites and to a site about goods that have been recalled. But hijacking your new tab page might be the worst way to do this. Findmanualsnow.com should just be an extension pop-up, at the most (the pop-up that appears when you click on an installed add-on’s icon).

If you only search for manuals online occasionally, a browser add-on should absolutely not be used for that. Even if you do search for online manuals frequently, there are ways to add your favorite manuals sites to your browser very unintrusively by favoriting and bookmarking them, and pinning them to your new tab page. No need to have Findmanualsnow.com messing with your searches and logging your browsing habits.

How to stop Findmanualsnow.com redirects

Uninstall Find Manuals Now manually or use an antivirus app like Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. Make sure to check your other add-ons, as well. Be suspicious of any that:

• control your new tab page,
• read and change your data on Google.com, Bing.com, and other search engines,
• set your search engine to some unknown website.

Even if a browser add-on appears useful but asks for some unjustified permissions, be suspicious. Some add-ons change features and turn to the dark side once they amass enough users. The monetization of free add-ons doesn’t always go well for the users.

Or better yet, scan your computer with an antivirus app and see what the results say.
