MusicApp Home Removal Guide

Do you know what MusicApp Home is?

Those of you who have encountered MusicApp Home should know it is a browser extension for Google Chrome, but some of our readers may not be aware of the fact the application was classified as a potentially unwanted program. If this is the case, we invite our readers to review the rest of the article and get to know this suspicious tool better. Before deciding whether it would be a good idea to place this extension on the browser you should know MusicApp Home might change your browser’s homepage and introduce you to possibly dangerous third-party advertising content. Therefore, our researchers advise not to risk it and eliminate the potentially unwanted program. Provided, you need any assistance with this task, you could follow the removal guide we will add at the end of the main text.

It was discovered that the extension could be downloaded not just from the Chrome Web Store page or the software’s homepage called superappbox.com, but also via unreliable pop-up advertisements, which users could encounter while visiting untrustworthy web pages, and so on. Based on the application’s description it looks like MusicApp Home should provide users with access to free music, playlist creation features, etc. However, besides letting you search for your favorite songs the potentially unwanted program might change your homepage to place an unknown search engine on it. It might look like you get the results from Yahoo, but our researchers think they could be modified by the extension to inject the gathered results with additional third-party advertisements. Apparently, it redirects users search queries through a server called movie.eanswers.com and then to search.yahoo.com.

Furthermore, after reading the potentially unwanted program’s Privacy Policy, we learned that the application’s creators do not take any responsibility for third-party content, even if it is presented to the user through MusicApp Home or other company’s created tools, websites, and so on. It means if the application would provide third-party advertising content to you; there is not knowing where such ads could come from or how they might endanger your privacy or the computer’s safety. To give you an example, the advertisements could lead you to scam web pages created simply to steal sensitive or private users’ data. Some of the advertised third-party web pages might promote malicious software too, e.g., Trojans, viruses, ransomware, etc. In fact, after reading the extension’s End User License Agreement paper, we found out MusicApp Home’s creators cannot guarantee the product itself will “BE FREE FROM VIRUSES, "WORMS," "TROJAN HORSES" OR OTHER HARMFUL PROPERTIES.”MusicApp Home Removal GuideMusicApp Home screenshot
