Remove PlayFizz

The PlayFizz browser extension is bundled with various PlayFizz downloadable games. It is a web browser extension that changes the browsers search and home pages as well as delivers. In order to provide search advertising revenue, the software is designed not only to modify the search provider but to protect it so that it remains the default browser search engine. It is typically installed via a bundled offer within a third-party software distribution.

It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The main program executable is Removal.exe. The software installer includes 3 files and is usually about 640.92 KB (656,303 bytes). Updater.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
