The RecipeHub by MyWay is an ad-supported product created by the Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., which was brought to our attention with reports of browser hijacking. The RecipeHub by MyWay software functions as a browser extension with versions for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The RecipeHub by MyWay add-on is a legitimate program by Mindspark, which is said to grant access to thousands of recipes online. Google Chrome users can add the RecipeHub by MyWay via Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recipe-hub/foagdimkhngpckboligookcjcmfnnbdk while IE and Firefox users can do so from the official site—Free.recipehub.com. You may be interested to know that the Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. has an extensive network of partners and you also may add the RecipeHub by MyWay add-on to your browser using a freeware bundle. It is in your interest that you do not skip reading the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy published on Eula.mindspark.com/eula/ and Eula.mindspark.com/eula/#Privacy. As mentioned above, the RecipeHub by MyWay add-on is created with the support of advertisers, and there are a few things to take into consideration if you want to install the app. The RecipeHub by MyWay Chrome extension requires the following privileges:

  • Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
  • Read and change your browsing history.
  • Manage your downloads.
  • Manage your apps, extensions and themes.

The RecipeHub by MyWay extension may change your new tab layout to offer a set of curated links that lead to third-party content at Food.com/topic/main-dish, Allrecipes.com, and social media services like Facebook and Instagram. The RecipeHub by MyWay software is designed to change the homepage and new tab on the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox to h[tt]p://hp.myway.com/recipehub/ttab02/index.html. The RecipeHub by MyWay New Tab works as a redirect-gateway to content unrelated to Recipehub.com. You are not required to install the RecipeHub by MyWay add-on if you like the resources at Allrecipes.com and Food.com. Web surfers who install the RecipeHub by MyWay should not expect an exclusive access to premium content or anything of the sort. What all the RecipeHub by MyWay app does is offer a selection of links on your new tab page including a custom search service powered by Int.search.myway.com. The RecipeHub by MyWay extension is almost identical to older projects by Mindspark, which includes the DailyRecipeGuide Toolbar and the TotalRecipeSearch Toolbar. Computer security experts note that the RecipeHub by MyWay may use data like your Internet history, downloads log and installed extensions to facilitate the display of targeted ads on h[tt]p://hp.myway.com/recipehub/ttab02/index.html and Int.search.myway.com. The RecipeHub by MyWay app is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., which you may want to remove and simply bookmark the pages you are interested in.
