Is MyWay dangerous?

It does not matter what kind of add-on you are going to download, it will be the weak point for the whole system. MyWay is not an exclusion. All software editors release security updates and worry about the security of their users. But when you activate any extension, then software companies cannot ensure that your system will not be infected. Internet swindler can use the browser extension like a door to your system. Of course there is a safe way out from this situation: install browser add-ons from well-known and trustworthy software vendors only. But is not 100% protection from hackers and computer threats. I advise not to install browser extensions at all.

It is important to be aware that every installed extension has the permission to use your personal info that you enter when fill in some forms on the web. The reports, including your telephone number, your first and second names, your email, etc. Can be passed to some advertising agencies. Be careful using any browser add-ons and do not look for them, if there is not a true necessity in it.

MyWay is an advertising browser add-on that adds some other dangers. Is there any guarantee that the advertising information is 100% genuine? Surely, no. So, you should not trust the pop-ups and its conditions. Also you should not visit the landing pages of the shown pop-ups as they can be viral and so, in its train, you will get a real computer threat on your PC.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

Manual ways of removal that you can use to remove MyWay from browsers are safe and not so complicated as you may think. Possibly, only automatic method is easier. This method is very powerful for the browser vendors worry about your right to install or uninstall any extensions. The method will let you to uninstall all the unwanted browser add-ons and you will not be displayed its popping-up windows any more. But sometimes, using this technique users notice that the adware returns to the browser and they need to perform any other techniques to delete it.

But removal way that instruct you to delete the folders and registry keys and values is the most harmful one. If you venture to perform this way of removal, then you should bear in mind only one common principle: do not forget to do the backup of the registry. Also this technique should be executed only by the user that understands what and why he should eliminate.In case you will delete some files or registry keys and values that do not pertain to MyWay, then the PC will not start next time. Specialists will not be mistaken and can enjoy the effectiveness of this manual method.

However the most effective and the safest instructions are automatic. Downloading any antivirus tool that has MyWay in its base of viruses, you will remove this unwanted browser extension promptly and the virus will not bother you any more for the antivirus will protect your PC in the future.

Concerning the sums of money that users may spend on the virus removal I should say that some methods are 100% free, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (in the case if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus software and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are powerful. The information about the effectiveness of these uninstall techniques I illustrate in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’ below. Speaking about the paid ways of virus removal, I should enumerate the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.

These methods are the most efficient. In spite of the great difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the issue and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these methods are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also say that paid antiviruses always has support service (sometimes for free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.

You should not overlook the checkbox (usually small letters somewhere in the corner) that is responsible for the installation of any other free programs. You should remove the tick from this checkbox.
  • Do not open any malicious websites (porn, for adults, websites of unknown free software), they usually contain some worms or other types of computer threats.
  • Do not use torrents or other sharing web services, because you can download exe file instead of the needed file.
  • Do not open email attachment from unknown persons. It can be malicious.
