Remove FreeSearchMusic
FreeSearchMusic is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) It is not dangerous, but it may bring undesired changes to your Web browser and system configuration. Apart from making intrusive changes, this software may sometimes end up being installed without your approval. Typically, this happens via fake installers/updaters, fake downloads, or other misleading content. Also, PUPs like FreeSearchMusic may come in software bundles as opt-in or opt-out offers. If you happen to install free apps, we advise you to follow their instructions closely. Make sure to decline optional content and installs.
How Does FreeSearchMusic Work?
Contrary to what its name says, this add-on does not help you find music, radios, or stream media. Instead, it will promote 3rd-party search sites by configuring them as your browser's default new tab page and search engine. While there is nothing dangerous about these changes, you should not allow FreeSearchMusic to continue running. The searches you see may contain low-quality results, ads, scams, and misleading content. We advise you to stay away from unknown search engines that were brought to your attention through 3rd-party software and add-ons.
How to Deal with FreeSearchMusic?
Removing FreeSearchMusic should be the first thing you do. While this PUP is running, you may be unable to tamper with your browser settings – the PUP will undo any changes you make. The best way to eliminate FreeSearchMusic fully is to run an up-to-date Windows security tool. Once you take care of this, you can manually restore your browser settings.
