Search.mystartabsearch.com is a stubborn beast,– as stubborn as a mule. This browser extension has the appearance of a search engine. However, no legitimate search engine would redirect you to another one, but not Search.mystartabsearch.com fake search engine. It reroutes you to search.yahoo.com in a new tab page. Thus, you can figure out that this supposed-to-be search provider is incapable of rendering you search results, so it exploits the software system, which has this particular feature, that is, Yahoo search engine. Search.mystartabsearch.com application is, in fact, ad-supported software which employs the heavy artillery to present you with the advertising content of 3rd party. It sponsors the 3rd party sites by adding them to the websites rendered by Yahoo. Moreover, this malicious extension whips the 3rd party ads into the authentic websites of the latter legitimate search engine.

The greatest evil of Search.mystartabsearch.com program lies not in the fact that it hijacks your main page and search engine and that it displays advertising content, it lies in the fact that this malicious extension pushes and shoves scam advertising content. Clicking on these ads and getting redirected to this kind of domains is a dangersome activity better not to get involved in.
