About Movie-quest.co

Movie-quest.co is a website promoting a questionable extension and a browser hijacker. It supposedly allows you to quickly find films but it does not seem to be reliable. For one, it appears that it can install onto your computer via freeware bundles, which a lot of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) use.

Movie-questBasically, you can install it without even knowing. This will be explained more in the further paragraphs of this report. Browser hijackers are not malicious but they are annoying because they redirect users to sponsored or even malicious websites. If you find its website loading every time you open your browser, you probably do have a hijacker on your hands. It’s not going to harm your computer directly but it’s not recommended to keep it installed because it could expose you to malicious content. This is why we would recommend you delete Movie-quest.co.

Why is it appearing on my computer?

Browser hijackers are attached to freeware as additional offers that you need to deselect in order to avoid them. This can be done in Advanced or Custom settings when installing freeware. When you access those settings, all extra offers will appear there and you will be able to deselect them. Simply uncheck the boxes and you can then proceed to install the freeware. Do not use Default settings because you will not be able to deselect anything. You will not even be informed of anything being added. If you want to avoid having to remove Movie-quest.co or similar, make sure you always deselect everything.

Why uninstall Movie-quest.co?

The browser hijacker will make changes to your browser as soon as it enters your computer. It will alter settings and set its promoted website as your homepage, new tabs and search engine. These changes will be irreversible unless you first delete Movie-quest.co, which you should do in any case. Those changes will apply to all leading browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The extension responsible for these changes is advertised as a tool to help you find films but that’s not all it may do. It may you lead you to sponsored websites, essentially making money by redirecting you. Hijackers do not differentiate between safe and malicious sites so you could also be led to something dangerous, such as an malware-ridden website, where you could end up downloading a malicious virus. This is why it’s recommended that you remove Movie-quest.co.
