Once users install musicFinder Search on their computers/it affects users’ browsers without their knowledge, it changes the default search tool immediately. Because of this, users’ all searches are redirected through http://search.myappzcenter.com/search/?category=web before they are presented with Yahoo! search results. Unfortunately, even though Yahoo! is considered a reliable search provider, you might see some modified search results.
