eSpeedMusic Search Removal Options
eSpeedMusic Search (also searched for as eSpeedMusic Search virus) utilizes deceptive marketing tactics, hijacks existing internet browser settings, and is advertised alongside potentially unwanted programs and malware. This is why the internet security community recognizes the eSpeedMusic Search extension as adware and a potentially unwanted program.
Once eSpeedMusic Search is installed it will take control of your internet browser settings. It will replace your homepage, default search engine, and new tab with musix.searchalgo.com and other webpages. This will cause affected web browsers to start-up on musix.searchalgo.com and redirect to musix.searchalgo.com when you open a new browser tab or search the web via the address bar.
The eSpeedMusic Search extension for Google Chrome has a few public permissions. The permissions allow it to read and change all your data on the websites you visit and change your search setting to musix.searchalgo.com.
