Remove search.mytelevisionxp.com from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly search.mytelevisionxp.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Theoretically, search.mytelevisionxp.com is a perfectly safe online application that should allow you to watch various TV channels for free. Its creators try painfully hard to make you believe search.mytelevisionxp.com really is the decent program they present it to be. However, in reality this thing is nothing but the nth aggressive and very dangerous browser hijacker out there. Search.mytelevisionxp.com has so many drawbacks that it shouldn’t take you long to realize that the sooner you remove the parasite, the better. This hijacker not only exposes you to malware, tries to trick you into installing infections disguised as program updates, bombards you with completely useless ads and monitors your browsing activities, but it also causes frequent system crashes and Internet issues. And, of course, it hijacks your browser. That means since the moment search.mytelevisionxp.com gets installed, you lose all control over your own online experience. This parasite was created by the infamous SafeBrowser, a company which aims at making all your browsers about as unsafe as possible. This hijacker in particular is no exception. As you can see, the only reasonable thing to do is get rid of this malicious program immediately. It could be incredibly harmful to you, your PC and even your personal data if it spends enough time on your machine.

How did I get infected with?

The official website of this parasite doesn’t offer a download option. That should be the first of many red flags concerning search.mytelevisionxp.com and all negative features it has yet to reveal. The reason why most infections can’t be directly downloaded from their own pages is because they simply don’t need that option. Viruses in general (search.mytelevisionxp.com included) prefer using much more secretive and dubious methods to infect computers. They usually travel the Web as “bonus” programs attached to freeware bundles so as you can imagine, unless you’re very careful every time you download such program packages, you might end up accidentally installing a parasite alongside the software you wanted. Our advice is to always opt for the custom option and avoid unverified websites as they could be corrupted.

Why is this dangerous?

This nasty parasite may appear to be more annoying that dangerous but don’t let hackers fool you with their cheap trickery. The search.mytelevisionxp.com hijacker is extremely harmful and as it could easily get out of hand, we highly recommend that you delete it quickly. First and foremost, this virus is compatible with the most commonly used browsers out there so it infects Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. How convenient. Now it doesn’t really matter which browser you use in your sad attempts to escape search.mytelevisionxp.com’s manipulations because the parasite’s negative effects will be practically everywhere. The hijacker replaces both your browser homepage and default search engine with its malicious domain. Then you will be redirected to the specific websites that the developers of search.mytelevisionxp.com want you to visit. It’s utterly irrelevant whether those pages match your search queries or not because they are sponsored and bring hackers revenue. However, apart from the obvious fact you won’t be able to find anything you want to find online, keep in mind that everything brought by the hijacker is unreliable. You don’t want to risk installing more malware, do you? After all, you already have a hijacker to worry about. In addition, search.mytelevisionxp.com will display commercials (about as safe as the search results) and software updates (about as safe as the commercials). Long story short, the hijacker has numerous tricks to offer and even if you don’t fall victim to any of them,  search.mytelevisionxp.com’s presence will considerably slow down the speed of your PC. You can delete the virus automatically but you could also uninstall it successfully yourself following the removal tips down below.
