MyStartSearch.com is associated with Web browser hijacker that is associated with the MyStartSearch.com search engine. However, MyStartSearch.com only is a search engine in its name. This is because MyStartSearch.com is not designed to return legitimate search results or allow computer users to find online content. Rather, MyStartSearch.com may display large numbers of advertisements and sponsored links in response to any query made by the computer user. The MyStartSearch.com search engine is linked to the MyStartSearch.com Web browser toolbar, a Web browser extension that is known to cause numerous problems on affected computers. Malware researchers have noted that MyStartSearch.com may affect other, legitimate Web browser add-ons and cause the affected Web browsers to display pop-up windows and slow down considerably. However, the main symptom linked to MyStartSearch.com is the presence of Web browser redirects to the MyStartSearch.com search engine. Because MyStartSearch.com essentially takes over the affected Web browser, PC security researchers classify MyStartSearch.com as a browser hijacker.

MyStartSearch.com and Similar Potentially Unwanted Programs

Adware, browser hijackers and a variety of other low-level threats are known as Potentially Unwanted Programs. Although not considered threatening, add-ons like MyStartSearch.com may present many symptoms as known threats. PC security researchers have also noted that MyStartSearch.com and similar PUPs may be linked to threats that may install these PUPs in order to monetize their attacks. PC security experts suggest computer users to remove MyStartSearch.com completely from affected computers. PUPs may be bundled with other software. In many cases, MyStartSearch.com may be bundled with free software acquired from dubious online sources. However, it is also common for MyStartSearch.com to be bundled with legitimate software that may be included in a third party installer. Malware researchers advise extra care when installing new software and refusal of any included software set to be installed by default.

Common Issues Associated with MyStartSearch.com

Since the main purpose of MyStartSearch.com is to force computer users visit MyStartSearch.com repeatedly, the main symptom linked to MyStartSearch.com is the presence of irritating browser redirects, both to MyStartSearch.com and to other websites. PC security researchers have also noted that MyStartSearch.com may cause affected Web browsers to display this low-quality search engine in pop-up windows or make links lead to MyStartSearch.com instead of to their real destination. A common issue related to MyStartSearch.com is the fact that this Web browser toolbar may make changes to affected Web browsers automatically. This change may include changing the affected Web browser's default search engine and homepage to MyStartSearch.com, ensuring that computer users are exposed to MyStartSearch.com as soon as the affected Web browser starts up.

Removing MyStartSearch.com from an Affected Machine

Malware researchers advise that computer users use a reliable security program capable of removing PUPs. Many security programs cannot detect or remove PUPs since they are designed for more sophisticated threats such as Trojans, worms and viruses. This is what makes PUPs a well used tool among marketers and threat creators, since the fact that they are not as destructive as traditional threats makes it more likely that they will remain on a computer and carry out their attack. Once the MyStartSearch.com toolbar has been removed, it may be mandatory to revoke any unwanted modifications made to the affected Web browser's settings (such as restoring the default search engine and homepage). Once MyStartSearch.com has been removed, PC security analysts recommend performing a thorough scan of the affected computer to ensure that the MyStartSearch.com toolbar has not led to any other infections or PUPs entering on the affected PC.
