About Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com Browser Hijacker

You will clearly notice, whether your computer is infected with Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com browser extension. Once it infiltrates into your computer’s system, your default homepage, search engine and a new tab page is replaced with its URL. Every time you launch your web browser, you are rerouted to search.mybestmediatabsearch.com, which, in turn, redirects to search.yahoo.com in a new tab page. Restoring your browser to the previous settings is pointless. All this suggests that this malignant program corrupts the startup and performs certain system changes. It can override both: Windows and Mac. The web browsers which can easily become the target of Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com extension can be whatever starting from Internet Explorer and ending with Safari, with nearly all existent browsers in between.

Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com browser extension can be labelled as ad-supported software as its functionality mainly encompasses the display of advertising content. This, specifically, includes the rendering of sponsored 3rd party advertising websites in the search results of Yahoo! Search and the insertion of 3rd party ads in the legitimate web pages provided by Yahoo. A reward which waits for you when you click these ads or visit these domains is quite disappointing, to say the least. To lift the veil, you may easily infect your computer with such viruses, in which light Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com hijacker will be thrown into the shade. The tracking of your NPII (non-personally identifiable information) implemented by this add-on is a minor wrongdoing in comparison with a spyware, which would record your sensitive credentials.

How does Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com Browser Hijacker Infiltrate Your Computer?

If you entered stepitapp.com into the address bar of your web browser, you will be redirected to a website which would explicitly tell you what the software of this company is all about. The statements that greet you on the main page are quite self-explanatory, ‘‘Take the next step into making a business out of your software downloads!’’, ‘‘Get paid for every free install/ Bundle our advertisers, to earn more from your software.’’ They indicate that Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com PUP is spread via ‘‘bundling’’ method, that is, it is being added to free downloads to make them free. These declarations also clearly designate the true nature of Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com by calling it an ‘‘advertiser’’. However, if the users were more aware about the consequences of the installation performed under the Default/ Basic settings, such thing as the silent installation of PUPs, just like dinosaurs, would be extinct long ago. If every user entered the Advanced/ Custom mode whenever they installed some freeware, the issue of PUPs distributed through ‘‘bundling’’ method would have been solved.
