NewNoteCenter (by MyWay) is a browser extension considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may be seen as part of free software bundles found around the Web. Whenever NewNoteCenter is installed, it changes the homepage and search engine settings of your Web browser to search.my.com. Although NewNoteCenter may do nothing more than that seemingly, there could be other things happening 'under the hood,' so to speak. NewNoteCenter could be recording your browsing activity and search queries, and selling the information to third-party advertising companies. In many cases, the software bundles found on the Web contain software that is not listed during their installation so that users may find themselves surprised with a brand new NewNoteCenter on their machine. NewNoteCenter is a product of Mindspark, a marketing company that works with interactive advertising.
Although the extension itself is not unsafe, NewNoteCenter does register itself as a search provider for Google Chrome so that the search queries will go through search.myway.com instead of the Google search engine. NewNoteCenter is detected by various anti-virus programs under the following names:
PUP.WebToolbar.MyWebSearch, Win32:UnwantedSig [PUP], MyWebSearch.J (v), Application.Win32.BrowseFox.nlnbg, W32/MindSpark.MHJA-2086, Application.WebToolbar (A), Win32/Toolbar.MyWebSearch.BA potentially unwanted, Riskware/Agent, not-a-virus:HEUR:WebToolbar.Win32.Agent, PUA.MyWebSearch!8.EC (cloud:GEhn3FZDXiS), PUP.MindSpark/Variant, PUA.Toolbar.Agent!, not-a-virus:HEUR:WebToolbar.Win32.Agent.
NewNoteCenter carries the unique MD5 identifier a8e67b8ae45d8ec0c74d77bb8981aff1. Users are advised to remove NewNoteCenter from their computers as soon as it is spotted so that they can avoid its changes and enjoy their browsing experience.
