About Movie.eanswers.com redirects

How Movie.eanswers.com appears in the browser

Movie.eanswers.com is a website that serves to take in web search queries from the browsers that are hijacked by certain browser extensions. These extensions are VideoCenter Search, FilmsCenter Search, VideoZone Search, VideosFriendly Search, MovieTube Search, FilmsNet Search, and others. They can be downloaded from Medianetnow.com, Friendlyappz.com, and related sites. These browser extensions are sneaky and might be hard to notice when they’re installed. If you didn’t intentionally install them, then you might not even notice them.

It’s not impossible for the Movie.eanswers.com hijacker extensions to get installed without your permission:

• Bundled with free programs as an optional offer.
• Offered by malicious ads on sites like Getawesome3.com.
• Advertised on illegitimate (pirating) video streaming sites and file download sites.

Deceptive ads trick people into installing suspicious browser extensions. Bundlers simply sneak them onto computers without asking for permission.

The browser extensions that spread Movie.eanswers.com do it by changing browser settings. They set the default search engine to Movie.eanswers.com. The default search engine setting governs which site receives your query when you type it into your browser’s search box. The search engine setting is quite powerful. It is also the only setting that the aforementioned browser extensions change when they’re installed – and it is enough to affect the browsing experience of each victim.

Problems with Movie.eanswers.com redirects

Movie.eanswers.com is closely related to Games.eanswers.com. Although it appears that Movie.eanswers.com is much more popular at the moment, these sites still exist (along with Music.eanswers.com, Tvsport.eanswers.com, and a few others) and continue to cause issues.

When you start your search query with an ‘m’, Movie.eanswers.com takes it to Gomovix.com. Otherwise, it opens Search.yahoo.com.

The Movie.eanswers.com-related extensions do reveal in their descriptions that they change the browser’s default search to Yahoo. They’re also presented as giving you access to information about actors, movies, and video clips – which they deliver via the Gomovix.com redirects. This is very disappointing. You could get more use out of a few bookmarks.

These extensions also allow the operators of Movie.eanswers.com to see your search queries. According to the privacy policies of the extensions, the collected usage data can be used for marketing and ad-targeting purposes, which only further shows that Movie.eanswers.com exists to generate advertising profit.

Search hijacking is commonly done to get some advertising revenue. Movie.eanswers.com leads people to Gomovix.com, inflating its traffic and getting more eyes on its ads. Gomovix.com uses its web push notifications to advertise to people even when they’re not on the site. Some of these ads lead to fake giveaways and subscription scam sites (Thems.best, Phasicfun.com). This way, the Movie.eanswers.com redirects can actually be dangerous and cause real financial harm.

Here is an example of the kinds of “ads” that I got ia Gomovix.com notifications:

How to stop Movie.eanswers.com ads

Open the affected browser and check what extensions you have installed (Settings, Extensions). Remove the browser extensions that have the “Change your search settings to: movie.eanswers.com” permission. Examine the other extensions that are installed, too.

Also, check your computer for malware and adware. You can do that by scanning it with an antivirus tool, such as Spyhunter for PC, Combo Cleaner for Mac, and others. Adware promotes malware – not directly, but by injecting low-quality ads into all webpages. So if there’s anything like that leftover on your device, it’s best to remove it as quickly as possible.

Finally, block notifications from Gomovix.com.
