MySearchResults.com Removal Guide

Recently the abundance of browser extensions on the Internet is highly surprising. The most important thing is that they are not dangerous computer threats, but they still cause a lot of inconveniences for computer users. For example, mysearchresults.com is a website that appears instead of your default home page when you install Default Tab - Search Results, LLC on your PC. Users generally claim that they do not know how they get redirected to mysearchresults.com, but the truth is that browser extensions seldom get installed behind your back - Default Tab - Search Results, LLC and others often get downloaded onto your PC bundled with other freeware.

It means that you initiate the installation process yourself. Keep in mind, that you have to be attentive when you download a free software application from a third party website, because THAT is when they often come bundled with plugins that redirect you to mysearchresults.com. Actually, you should be prompted whether you want to change your default home page to mysearchresults.com or not, but users often go through installation process so fast they forget to check what kind of features they install. The next thing they know, they have mysearchresults.com as their default home page, with Default Tab search bar installed.

The biggest security threat that comes from mysearchresults.com is its vulnerability to malicious exploitation. For example, the home page always displays a commercial advertisement right below the customized search bar. mysearchresults.com is not responsible for reviewing third party websites before their advertisements are displayed on the page. Therefore, the plugin could be used to display ads of questionable content that lead to corrupted websites as well. This way your computer would get exposed to malware.

Before any of that happens, remove mysearchresults.com from your system and safeguard it against any possible malware attacks. You will find instructions for manual removal below, but we also highly recommend scanning your system with SpyHunter free scanner once you are done with the removal, because you have to make sure that no unwanted files are left in your system.
