The Mystart.myoivu.com search portal is used by the OIVU software to reroute the PC user's Internet traffic through the servers of advertisers. If you are presented with the Mystart.myoivu.com domain as your homepage and search provider, then you may have installed the OIVU software. OIVU is developed by Beijing Muxing Technology CO. LTD and is dispersed with the help of free software packages. The OIVU program is a search enhancer and will change your browser settings to use the service of the Mystart.myoivu.com website. The site in question may resemble the layout of Google to appear user-friendly, and your searches will be redirected to the legitimate Google search results page. However, your search terms on Mystart.myoivu.com will be sent to advertisers for processing and developing better marketing strategies. Security analysts add that the OIVU program will read information alike your software configuration, browsing and download logs to help advertisers deliver tailor-suited commercials. You may want to know that the OIVU program is classified as adware and may supply you with unsafe ads. Also, it may place sponsored search results on Google that link to compromised online stores where your credit card data is at risk. The square logo of the Mystart.myoivu.com domain may contain the same colors seen on the logo of Google, but you should not expect the same quality of search services and safety. The Mystart.myoivu.com domain is not affiliated with Google and functions as a redirect-gateway to third-party content that could be compromised. The OIVU adware that caused the changes in your Web browser may appear on your 'Programs and Features' and it may have edited your Windows Registry to hide its files on your hard drive. You may want to seek the help of a credible anti-spyware utility that can eradicate the OIVU adware and restore your default Web browser settings.
