The MyVideoTab by MyWay software that you can find on h[tt]p://install.myvideotab[.]com/?pid=11111 and h[tt]ps://chrome.google[.]com/webstore/detail/myvideotab/bgahknbpjmchggbdoehhmbcgmmbafimh is promoted as a customized new tab, which helps you find movies easily. The MyVideoTab by MyWay software is developed by APN, LLC., and it can be installed free of charge. The program at hand is known to modify your browser settings so that you are redirected to a personalized version of Search.myway.com that you can load by navigating to h[tt]p://hp.mysearch[.]com/mvt-vcn/b2bms/index.html. You don't need to have the MyVideoTab by MyWay extension installed if you intend to use its new tab functionality. There is a catch though. The MyVideoTab by MyWay program is an ad-supported app, which requires the following privileges:
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
- Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
- Read and change your browsing history.
- Manage your downloads.
- Manage your apps, extensions and themes.
Not running the app means that APN, LLC. is not going to have access to your extensions, themes, browsing history and all data exchanged online. That way it is likely to be hard for APN, LLC. to monetize the traffic on h[tt]p://hp.mysearch[.]com/mvt-vcn/b2bms/index.html but they will be able to record your IP, browser type and search terms. PC security experts note that MyVideoTab by MyWay is a free program that is monetized through targeted advertisements. Considering there are many users who may not be fond of ad-supported apps they may have a thing or two against how APN, LLC. collects data from MyVideoTab users. The MyVideoTab by MyWay extension may add links to Netflix, IMDB, and RottenTomatoes to your new tab page, as well as a custom search by Search.myway.com. The MyVideoTab app is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you may consider for removal.
