MagniPic
What is MagniPic?
MagniPic is a potentially unwanted web browser extension that is ad-supported and will display various popup and banner ads as well as modify the user's web browser search and home page settings. This plugin will update Internet Explorer (as a BHO), Chrome (as an extension) and Firefox (as an add-in). In some cases, the program will monitor a user's behavior (which the user agreed to if they did not read the full EULA) and will inject rival advertisements over existing one or just inject new ones all together. This toolbar is typically bundled by third party download managers/installers or through questionable online ads.

MagniPic was created in order to improve your facebook experience. Magnify Facebook images just by hovering over them. Install the new MagniPic chrome add-on and improve your Facebook experience. Hover over pictures in different sizes and MagniPic will automatically enlarge them without you having to do anything.
