Suddenly MyWebFinding.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Did you encounter MyWebFinding.com’s unwanted presence on your computer? If so, you have come to the right place because the more you know about this pest of a program, the better. It’s highly recommended to read the article before you inevitably proceed to removing MyWebFinding.com; tricky parasites like this one have many issues in store and you simply have to know what to expect. In short, expect trouble. MyWebFinding.com is classified as a browser hijacker and it doesn’t need much time to start its malicious activity. This thing will not only bombard you with problems but it will try to convince you that it’s harmless at the same time. If you’re wondering who to trust, remember that at the end of the day this is a PC virus we’re talking about. It was created by hackers to serve their own purposes which greatly mismatch yours. The only reason why MyWebFinding.com exists is to generate money for its developers, not to be beneficial for you. Therefore, why keep it on your machine? Hijackers put in danger your computer AND your privacy so MyWebFinding.com leaves you with one possible choice only – to remove it as soon as possible.
How did I get infected with?
The official website of MyWebFinding.com offers no download option. That fact should speak for itself as most parasites out there don’t need to include such a button in their pages. Hackers prefer to rely on some much more irritating and much more unfair methods. Take bundled freeware, for example. PC users tend to overlook the installation process which often turns out to be a crucial mistake. It’ very easy for crooks to attach some parasite and include it in the bundle. It’s also very easy for you to spot the intruder and deny it access on time and yet, many people fall victims to this cheap trickery every year. That leads us to the question whirling around in your head – how the device got infected. You probably downloaded some free programs off of the Internet without checking them in advance which is exactly what we told you that you shouldn’t do. To protect your machine in the future, don’t make the same mistake twice. Always go for the Advanced option and make sure you’re aware of everything that seeks your permission. And make sure you deselect it Sometimes a single moment of negligence leads to many long days filled with cyber issues. Another piece of advice is to ignore all kinds of spam email-attachments that you might come across as most of them as corrupted. Remember – the Web may be a fascinating place but it’s full of parasites and it is your responsibility to protect yourself from all of them.
Why is this dangerous?
We’ve never found a browser hijacker that is harmless and it doesn’t look like MyWebFinding.com is the big exception. If you take your time to check the Limitation of Liability the official website of the parasite offers, you will learn that its developers firmly refuse to take any responsibility for the potential problems you may have. And, trust us on this one, you will have problems. After the hijacker manages to get successfully installed, it gets activated almost immediately so at least you’re not going to spend too much time wondering about the name of the parasite that’s harassing you. MyWebFinding.com is far from being subtle. It takes down all your browsers (yes, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer included) so its manipulations will be practically everywhere on your PC screen. The parasite makes sure both your default homepage and search engine are replaced with MyWebFinding.com so any attempt to browse the Web will lead you right back to the virus. That is not even the most nerve-wracking part. All search results displayed by the hijacker are highly unreliable and it’s in your best interest to stay away from them. Apart from the obvious fact that they have nothing to do with your search queries which makes them utterly useless, the links distributed by MyWebFinding.com could also turn out to be harmful. The parasite doesn’t discriminate between safe and corrupted web links so you will be seeing both kinds. Clicking is not a risk worth taking, as you could probably figure out. In addition to the constant redirection, MyWebFinding.com also steals about as much personal data as it possible could. That includes your passwords, usernames, email-addresses, IP address, even your browsing history. Are you nervous yet? You will be, especially after you learn that hackers usually sell the data they collect to third parties without having the smallest concern about your safety. That means you will have no idea where and for what purposes exactly your personal information is; all you know is that this cannot end well. To neutralize all the trickery MyWebFinding.com brings along, you have to delete the hijacker either automatically or manually. If you decide to handle the parasite yourself, please follow the instructions below.
