What is MySearch.com?

If you constantly see mysearch.com website popping up in your browser, it’s quite likely you’re infected with yet another browser hijacker. Like most other browser hijackers, it can come bundled with various software applications, especially free ones, easily found on the web. MySearch is known to be very invasive, as it’s set to be installed by default in software or game installers that you have downloaded. Most users don’t notice the additional unwanted software they’ll be getting, and even if they do, it can be tricky to prevent the malware from being installed.

Once on your computer, the hijacker can alter your browser, be it Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. The following behaviours can be applied to MySearch.com browser hijacker:

• Homepage set to mysearch.com
• Default search engine set to mysearch.com
• Increased amounts of advertisement shown on pages
• Slower browser performance than usual

Our suggestion is that you remove MySearch.com from your computer as soon as possible.
