Remove MovieSearchHome

MovieSearchHome is an annoying browser extension, which you should not install. It is not dangerous, but it may be the cause of unwanted changes to your browser configuration. Typically, users encounter this app when they are looking for free streams of movies and TV series. The app promises to provide them with such content as soon as you install it. However, users who end up accepting this may end up seeing disappointing results. Instead of providing them with content, MovieSearchHome will replace their browser's new tab page and search engine. These changes are not dangerous, but they may ruin the quality of your online searches and browsing experiences.

What Sites does MovieSearchHome Promote?

When a user installs this app, it will configure Portal.moviesearchhome.com as the default new tab page, while the search aggregator is set to Feed.moviesearchhome.com. It seems that both of these sites eventually redirect the user to Nearbyme.io, another search engine that relies on Potentially Unwanted Programs to promote it.

Trying to undo the changes that MovieSearchHome brings may not yield positive results. The PUP will still work in the background and undo any changes you apply. This is why your first step should be to ensure the full removal of MovieSearchHome. The easiest way to automate this task and to make sure that all files are gone is to run an up-to-date Windows security tool. You should also consider using antivirus software for long-term protection against PUPs like MovieSearchHome, or more dangerous malware projects.
