Do you know what Muzik Fury is?
Users tend to install Muzik Fury application on their computers for three main reasons. First, they believe that they could play various playlists; second, they expect that they will be able to search songs and artists easily, and third, they believe that Muzik Fury will really enable them to “explore music by genre,” as it is said on the official website of this program muzikfury.thewhizmarketing.com. Muzik Fury itself is a product of APN, LLC and it looks quite useful; however, we still suggest that you use this piece of software carefully because it is usually classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). In case you have detected Muzik Fury but cannot explain how it got on your system, you should remove it without further consideration. Information on the removal of Muzik Fury will be provided in this article, so you should definitely read it.
Muzik Fury is often considered to be a PUP because it simply changes the default search engine to MySearch.com after a user clicks on the Download button. Of course, we cannot call this software a browser hijacker because users are informed about the changes and they can uncheck the box if they do not want these changes to be applied. If this program enters the system together with other applications in software bundles, it is very likely that it will be impossible to uncheck the particular checkbox and prevent changes, which explains why so many users believe that this PUP has made all those changes without permission.

MySearch.com itself is not a bad search engine; however, we still suggest being careful with it because it seems to be slightly modified by the creators of Muzik Fury. If you notice that it provides sponsored links for you, you should ignore them because they might take you to unreliable web pages. There is a slight possibility that it will also record keywords you enter into the search box and other information associated with your activities on the web. Muzik Fury itself says in its Privacy Policy document that it collects two types of information: personal information and anonymous information. Personal information consists of such details as your name, address, email address, and telephone number, whereas anonymous information encompasses such details as page views, link clicks, and login times. Keep in mind that information might be collected by third parties too, e.g. Spotify and PANDORA which can be easily accessed from the main page of the modified mysearch.com.
Once Muzik Fury is installed or manages to enter your system with the help of other applications, you will notice new extensions added. It is not difficult to locate the extension for Google Chrome because it will have the bbhiadjigkejaeedpjjbgcjniggcbfee ID. In case of the extension for Mozilla Firefox, it can be found by following this path %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default\extensions (* - random letters). If you are now sure that this potentially unwanted program is installed on your system, you should know that you can eliminate it at any time in case you are not going to use it and/or simply want to set another search engine and homepage.
You can protect your system from other untrustworthy programs that use the bundling method to slither onto computers rather easily. It has been observed that they often travel in software bundles together with freeware and shareware, so you should stay away from third-party web pages and download programs from their official websites only. In addition, our security experts highly recommend installing a security tool.
Luckily, it is rather simple to delete Muzik Fury from the system. Of course, users who have never tried erasing a program themselves might find this rather difficult. We hope that below-provided instructions will help you to get rid of this potentially unwanted program. In case you still find the removal process difficult, use an automatic malware remover, such as SpyHunter for this matter.
