Filmsfetcher.com virus - How to remove

Filmsfetcher.com website promotes a Films Fetcher browser extension that functions as a provider of instant web search to top movies and TV channels. Its meant to serve Google Chrome users and apparently, it already has 12,616 clients. However, we do not believe that all of these users were obtained via truthful and transparent strategies.

Everything you should know about this browser extension

If you click “Accept and +Add” button, an additional window will immediately load with the main requirements that the extension obliges new clients to fulfill. The add-on will gain a permission to modify random websites, set users browsers’ preferences to Flmman.com, read and change bookmarks. More disturbingly, the add-on will receive permission to control other programs, extensions and themes.

The Films Fetcher browser hijacker is also featured in the Chrome Web Store, but has very few reviews. The only one it has suggests that the tool is completely no good. The Flmman.com search engine is demonstrated as a website that features a quite beautiful background, a weather forecast and a selection between different searching platforms. However, once you enter this domain into the address bar, you will instantly feel like you have entered Search.yahoo.com. In fact, this URL will even be shown in the address bar. Nevertheless, this is not the authentic search platform that you can trust.

Very briefly, Flmman.com will be seen in the address bar, but soon it will be replaced by the Yahoo website. The owners of this website are protected by Privacy Protection Service. However, in its EULA document, we noticed that the search engine and the extension could be generated by the same people that have constructed Muzixmuze.searchalgo.com.

We detected multiple red flags while reading the EULA document of this extension. One of them is this statement:

We are not obligated to maintain or support the Software, or to provide you with updates, fixes, or services related thereto. You understand and agree that during and/or by using the Software, you may encounter Third Party Content and/or Third Party Ads that you may deem to be offensive, indecent or objectionable.

Malware also usually receives permissions to monitor users online activity and store the information that is utilized in websites. This could mean that users’ login credentials, names, location and other confidential material could be silently recorded. If a browser hijacker has comfortably settled down in your browsing application, you should take the time to remove it. Knowing that a malware parasite will track your activity, expose you to raw material that might not be following any security rules, you should feel discouraged from exploring the Internet with this tool. Switch back to a more respectable search provider.

Elimination of malware

To retrieve control over your browsers’ setting we are recommending that you would install an anti-malware tool. If you already have one – great, use it to run a scan and it will presumably detect all of the relevant issues. However, some people still do not recognize the necessity of having a reliable protection tool. Because of this, we feel eager to introduce you to a couple of possible malware-fighting programs. Spyhunter or Plumbytes will not dash your expectations.

The best way to defeat malware is not not get infected in the first place. If under any circumstances your operating system becomes infected, its efficiency will be severely damaged and it won’t be possible to exploit it as before. Therefore, we hope you will consider changing your browsing habits. Start by avoiding unknown websites, questionable programs, reading EULA and Privacy Policy documents to make sure you would know the activity that the applications is going to commence. Also, check it out what security researchers are saying about the application. It could be helpful to read reviews from former users too.
