    potential threat. It is listed in the category of
    potentially unwanted program (PUP) pertaining to
    unwanted installation of its extension.
    MYWEB.HOUSE and relevant adware can enter the
    computer by means of suspicious freeware and
    third-party applications. Normally, adware are
    kept in software bundles. This is a trendy method
    used by adware makers. They packed several apps
    into one program and simultaneously load into the
    PC without users consent.

  • Once installed on the computer, the adware make
    necessary adjustment on the browser. It adds an
    extension that makes MYWEB.HOUSE as default
    homepage and search engine. This code is not only
    limited to mentioned portion of the browser.
    MYWEB.HOUSE may also override default new tab and
    incorporates advertising module that will result
    to excessive display of pop-ups and banner ads.

  • MYWEB.HOUSE is a browser redirect program that
    can be risky when installed on the computer. This
    adware can replace home page with unknown search
    engine. If you are seeing MYWEB.HOUSE as part of
    the browser, it only confirms that it is
    compromised. Browser hijacking intends to replace
    your search engine so that it can display ads on
    home page as well as search results. This can
    generate revenue for adware authors. However,
    users have nothing to gain aside from being
    annoyed by too much display of advertisements.
    For that ground, many users deemed MYWEB.HOUSE as
    part of virus activity.

  • Comparable with 123rede.com and Jogostempo.com,
    MYWEB.HOUSE is technically not a virus. Even
    though it behaves like a virus, it is classed as
    potentially unwanted program or Adware. Once it
    is inside, it can perform certain changes but it
    does not destroy files neither contaminate other
    files on the PC. Adware or browser redirect such
    as MYWEB.HOUSE aims only on issuing ads and

    to MYWEB.HOUSE, it only proves that adware do
    exists on the computer. Your online search is

    advertisements are presented on search result
    page, making it look like normal links. Thus, it
    can be mistakenly click by computer users.

    only issues that can be derived from the presence
    of MYWEB.HOUSE. It is observed that this adware
    has an operational monitoring mechanism that logs
    online browsing habit of user. The adware may
    also collect vital information like visited
    sites, IP address, search queries, and so on.

    applications, malicious links, and fake software

    browser hijacker is likely inconvenient to
    victim. It hijacks the home page and overrides
