Show Fanatic Removal

What is Show Fanatic?

Show Fanatic is a Google Chrome add-on that allows you to search for films directly from your browser. It is also classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Those kinds of programs are not malicious, nor do they harm the computer directly but specialists believe that there is little use of them. It does not seem to travel via software bundles, which is the usual spread method for PUPs, but it is being advertised by ad-supported programs. Show Fanatic will change your browser’s settings once it is installed, and may force you to use a different search engine than what you are used to. Many PUPs pose a certain kind of danger to computers because they expose them to loads of advertisement content and it is not always safe, some of them could even lead to a malware infection. But in Show Fanatic’s case, it does not appear to expose you to adverts. Nevertheless, you will find that there is no need for this extension thus we recommend you delete Show Fanatic.

How does Show Fanatic spread?

Usually, PUP spread with the help of freeware. What that means is it is attached to free software in a way that allows it to install alongside. It is important that you always pay attention to freeware installation processes and prevent added items from installing. This can be done in Advanced settings by unchecking the boxes of the added items. Show Fanatic does not appear to spread this way and must be installed manually. However, it is advertised by an adware program, which redirects you to random ads, including Show Fanatic. So if you got Show Fanatic from one of those ads, you might want to check your computer for an adware infection.

Should you remove Show Fanatic?

Show Fanatic is a Google Chrome extension so your other browsers will not be affected. Once it is installed, it will change settings and set a different new tab. Supposedly, this extension will help you search for films but that is something all search engines offer you. Additionally, you may not be able to change the settings back unless you first uninstall Show Fanatic from the computer. Yahoo will become your set search engine and since all Show Fanatic does is generate results via a different search engine, there really is no use in it. You can just go directly to Yahoo or any other reliable search engine without adding another plug-in. We do not see the need to allow this PUP to remain but the decision whether to erase Show Fanatic is up to you.
