Mixmeister Search

Mixmeister is the name of software applications which are used to edit music and video files. There are different products which are promoted by Mixmeister, all of which are said to be spyware-free, adware-free and virus-free. However, the installers of the trial applications contain additional free programs which may be regarded as infections by some computer users. This is so because they can change the home page of browsers and install some toolbar. If you think that the search engine that you found on your PC is related to Mixmeister, you should know that the software does not alter the settings of the system.

Mixmeister Search, as a lot of computer users tend to say, refers to the search engine that is set as the major search provider on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Depending on the source from which Mixmeister has been downloaded, your Mixmeister Search may vary. For example, Mixmeister can be downloaded from softonic.com. In this case, if you click on the Custom option while running the installer, your home page will be changed to mysearchresults.com and the search provider will be changed to My Search Results. If you download Mixmeister from phpnuke.com, you will be offered to install Delta Search; as a result, if you click on the Advanced option but do not uncheck three check boxes, your Mixmeister search will be changed as well. If the application is downloaded from toggle.com, the search provider and home page will be changed respectively.

As you can see, if you acquire Mixmeister from the websites where the applications are bundled with other freeware, there is a high possibility to get the settings of the browsers changed. Additionally, you may be provided with irrelevant search results, advertisements and sponsored websites. Do not blame the Mixmeister software you have downloaded as its developers do not bundle it with other applications – its freeware publishers who attempt to promote their or third-parties’ products.
