MyPoints is a potentially unwanted program with adware capabilities, which may appear on the corrupted PC as a toolbar. MyPoints may hijack well-known web browsers that can be detected on the compromised PC. The main symptom, which shows that MyPoints is installed on the targeted computer system, is continuous messages about coupons, discounts and other deals. The authors of these offers strive to benefit by diverting affected Internet users to relevant websites that pay them for advertising. MyPoints may trace the affected computer user's surfing activities and transfer this data to cybercriminals. Web user can download MyPoints from its official website. However, MyPoints may also appear on the hacked Internet browser out of the blue. MyPoints comes packed together with freeware and shareware programs and enter the attacked computer without the PC user's consnet. To evade downloading of MyPoints, computer users should pay more attention to the installation process of freeware and shareware programs. Commonly, web users should uncheck the check box that agrees to download MyPoints and the related toolbar. While being installed on the vulnerable PC, MyPoints may substitute the default search tool and homepage with a specific advertising website.
