The TVgenie browser add-on is created by WebAppTech Coding LLC and promises to enhance Internet users' browsing experience by adding the 'dim lights' function when watching online videos. This plug-in can be used when watching YouTube videos to overlay website components, which would otherwise be distracting.

Whilst 'dim lights' functionality may seem useful, many Internet users refer to TVgenie as a virus or adware.

The add-on is called MixiDJ Toolbar and causes browser redirects to mixidj.delta-search.com Note that redirects to this website are typically a consequence of reckless free software installation.

This toolbar is compatible with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla FireFox.

This site is related to unwanted browser add-ons, which, when installed on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox), cause pop-up ads served by TrustedOffer.com

Whilst these pop-up ads do not cause malware, Internet users should avoid clicking them since they lead to installation of unwanted browser toolbars, redirect issues, and online surveys, which encourage computer users to subscribe to costly and useless mobile services.

While the functionality of Savings Magnet add-on may seem useful, many computer users refer to this extension as the Savings Magnet virus or adware.
