What is BestMusicSearch?

The security specialists have determined that BestMusicSearch is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that belongs to the family of browser hijackers. Browser hijackers are created to take over the internet browser and control user’s surfing preferences. It commonly aims at Google Chrome web browser, but it’s possible that it can hijack other browser too. The browser hijackers and potentially unwanted programs can sneak into the PC system unnoticed due to the fact that it’s actively being promoted in free programs. We suggest that you remove BestMusicSearch as soon as you notice the changes it has made to your browser settings.

Most often, hijackers promote fake search providers by setting their address as the default search provider. In this case, the BestMusicSearch hijacker installs feed.bestmusicsearch.com as a search provider. This means that users whose internet browser is infected with the browser hijacker are forced to visit bestmusicsearch.com each time they search in the Internet, open a new window or tab. And since bestmusicsearch.com is not a real search engine and does not have the ability to find the information users need, this web page reroutes the user’s web-browser to the Yahoo search engine.

And finally, the BestMusicSearch hijacker can gather a wide variety of marketing-type data about you such as what web sites you are opening, what you’re looking for the Net and so on. This information, in the future, can be sold to third parties.

Therefore, potentially unwanted programs and browser hijackers are quite dangerous. So, we suggest you remove it from your PC as soon as possible. Follow the tutorial presented below to delete BestMusicSearch from your browser.
