Search.yourmovietimenow.com - How to remove

Search.yourmovietimenow.com is a rogue browser extension which targets the movie fans. It advertises itself as a search optimizer giving quick access to free online movies. But, in reality, Search.yourmovietimenow.com is a fake search engine designed for generating PPC (pay-per-click) revenue.

About Search.yourmovietimenow.com Browser Hijacker

This browser extension vanishes your default homepage, new tab and search engine. And, instead, redirects you to search.yourmovietimenow.com every time you launch your web browser. It does not matter which one you use. Safari, IE, Mozilla, Chrome, etc. – all of them might get affected by this virtual caterpillar. Ironically, it may even lift you up as you may think that from now on you will not struggle with searching for free online movies to watch. But that is just mist blown into your eyes. Soon you will experience all the inconveniences of having Search.yourmovietimenow.com virus on your computer. The primary feature you will notice is that when performing a search with this rogue search engine, it redirects you to a new tab displaying the search results of Yahoo Search. A question why it does so may arise to you. There is a simple answer to it.

Search.yourmovietimenow.com plug-in merely adds questionable 3rd party websites to the results rendered by search.yahoo.com. The purpose of this is quite simple – the extension is paid for that. Another means this add-on makes a living is by displaying dubious 3rd party advertisements onto the websites that are not hosted by the 3rd party. Going into greater detail, Search.yourmovietimenow.com virus records your online surfing activities because, again, it gets money from 3rd party which purchases this data. Thus, you should notice that the ads displayed are somewhat adjusted to you. There is no coincidence in that, believe it. Besides the burdened browsing (it has now become the task of Sisyphus for you to load some website), this module will also cause system slowdowns and browser unresponsiveness, even crashes. But, most importantly, these 3rd party ads and domains are insecure to visit.

How does Search.yourmovietimenow.com Browser Hijacker Makes an Entrance into Your Computer?

Search.yourmovietimenow.com hijacker is more often than not bundled with free downloads. This means that when you install, for instance, a Flash Player, you also setup the latter PUP (potentially unwanted program) on your computer without even realizing this. Therefore, the installation must be performed in Advanced/Custom mode which discloses the additional programs that are going to be installed by default. Spyhunter or Hitman are diagnostic and recovery tools which can detect Search.yourmovietimenow.com and free your computer’s system from it.
