Suddenly MyAppStash.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
MyAppStash.com will appear in the place of your default homepage and search engine because it is classified as a browser hijacker. The program will modify some of the settings of your browser so that every time you open it you are sent straight to MyAppStash.com. The worst thing is that it will display sponsored search results and will attack you with numerous online ads while you surf the web. This will expose your system to some dangerous threats and for this reason you should remove the hijacker from your PC.
How did I get infected with?
There is no doubt that MyAppStash.com has entered your system silently, probably bundled with freeware. The installer of the hijacker is hidden within the installer of the free app you have chosen to download, and the two of them get installed together. Please note that we are only referring to apps downloaded from non-official software distributing web pages. You can be certain that the program you have acquired has not arrived only with the MyAppStash.com browser hijacker, but with a bunch of other dubious programs as well. This is why you should be cautious when choosing sources for downloading freeware.
Why is this dangerous?
If MyAppStash.com has taken over your browser, you will notice that next to the MyAppStash search box it says “Powered by Yahoo”. This means that you cannot expect to receive original search results by MyAppStash.com as all the ones you will be presented with will be Yahoo search results. In this case it is rather pointless to use MyAppStash.com when you can go straight to search.yahoo.com. What is more, the hijacker will insert many sponsored search results among the others, which could be dangerous to your virtual security as you will not know where you will be taken if you decide to follow the links. The same applies for the ads displayed by MyAppStash.com. They lead to unknown web pages and promote suspicious products. Trusting them might result in infecting your system with malware, and this is something you do not want to happen. Remove MyAppStash.com hijacker now, before your system is filled with more hijackers, adware, and so on.
