MyBrowser - How to remove

MyBrowser might look as useful application at first sight but it’s just another malicious application that you should not keep installed on your computer. It is not very difficult itself as long as you don’t click on any advertisements displayed by it. However, it can be a difficult thing to do because usually advertisements displayed by MyBrowser cover almost all space on your screen, so this could happen simply accidentally.

It is not very difficult to indicate whether your computer is infected with MyBrowser or not because usually those advertisements are labeled with a slogan “Ads by MyBrowser” or “Brought to you by MyBrowser”, so if you have noticed this occurrence on any of your web browsers, your computer is definitely infected and you should take care of that.

There are two most common methods to eliminate MyBrowser – you can do it either manually or automatically. Since it’s much easier to do it automatically, we suggest you to go for this removal method.

Simply download reliable anti-malware application, such as Spyhunter or Malwarebytes, install it on your computer and then run a full scan of all files stored on your hard drive. It should automatically detect and remove the virus just in a few moments. It will also protect your system from similar infections in the future, so it’s worth to keep it installed.

However, if for some reasons you don’t want to download any additional anti-malware software, there is a way to eliminate MyBrowser manually. This process might be complicated, thus we have developed a step-by-step MyBrowser manual removal guide – scroll down below this article and take a look at it. If you manage to complete all steps correctly, you will be able to remove MyBrowser manually by your own.

About MyBrowser adware

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means that Apple users can get infected as well.

Once inside it will flood your web browsers with various advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

Even though those advertisements displayed by MyBrowser look very appealing, we do not recommend to click on any of them because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can be infected or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Distribution Methods of MyBrowser adware

MyBrowser is traveling the same way as most of other adware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For example, when you download and install some PDF generator or media player from unreliable website, there is a chance that MyBrowser will be downloaded alongside and installed behind your back. That’s why you should always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware. You should also keep your computer secured with trustworthy anti-malware application in order to protect your data from malware like MyBrowser.
