myTV Search Plus Extension

The myTV Search Plus Extension from Myappline.com is promoted to help users keep up with the latest content on TV channels. The myTV Search Plus Extension supports Google Chrome and can be downloaded from Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mytv-search-plus/kjnnjgmdonkcbmgapnjjpnfdkbelmepj. The myTV Search Plus Extension is designed to change the default search provider in Chrome to tv.searchalgo.com and add a drop-down menu to the navigation panel. The myTV Search Plus Extension is perceived as a slightly modified version of the MyMovie Start Extension released by Myappline.com in the first half of 2017. Both apps are ad-supported and tailored to redirect users to Yahoo. The company behind Myappline.com makes money by collecting data like your Internet history and helping advertisers show relevant ads on Yahoo.

The myTV Search Plus menu includes a search bar powered by TVNoop (h[tt]p://mytv.tvnoop[.]com/tv/search/). Searching via TVNoop loads a media player powered by Filmon.tv, which can't be accessed directly and appears to load TV channels in the browser. However, Filmon.tv produces video feeds in low-resolution (640x480p) and Web surfers are directed to h[tt]p://www.filmon[.]com/subscriptions?utm_source=filmon_live_pages&utm_medium=banner&utm_term=June2016&utm_content=WatchNoAds&utm_campaign=Banner&affid=244485Si where users are invited to commit to paying 18 USD every month. The subscription is supposed to let Web surfers watch content via Filmon.tv in HD quality and remove ads on the video streams facilitated by TVNoop. You can find the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the myTV Search Plus Extension at Myappline.com/privacy/ and Myappline.com/terms/, but you should note that they do not apply to Mytv.tvnoop.com and Filmon.tv. The myTV Search Plus Extension is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) from Myappline.com and may direct users to subscribe for survives by Filmon.tv and other third parties. You may wish to remove the myTV Search Plus Extension and restore the default functionality of the Omnibox in Google Chrome by using a reliable anti-spyware instrument.
