Muzik Fury

Muzik Fury is a browser extension that actually lets you listen to online trending music and popular radios with the click of a button; however, at the same time, it also presents you with a potentially unreliable search engine. As a matter of fact, this potentially unwanted program (PUP) changes your home page and new tab page settings in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome to a modified mysearch.com page. While we cannot complain about the main function of this PUP, unfortunately, it still may expose you indirectly to unsafe third-party web content through this search engine. Therefore, our researchers at anti-spyware-101.com think that your computer would be safer if you removed Muzik Fury. But do not take our word for it at once. Please read our detailed report on this questionable browser extension so that you can make the right decision. Read more »
