How to remove Myallsearch.com [Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge]

The Myallsearch.com is a browser hijacker. Once this unwanted software gets installed on your computer, it modifies the settings of all your typical internet browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It will set Myallsearch.com as your startpage, new tab page and default search engine. Thus, if you launch any of the browsers, it will always be open this unwanted web-page. Moreover, when you create a new tab, the Chrome, Firefox, IE and MS Edge can be also rerouted to Myallsearch.com web-site.

The Myallsearch.com hijacker usually affects only the Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. However, possible situations, when any other browsers will be affected too. The hijacker infection will perform a scan of the PC for browser shortcuts and modify them without your permission. When it infects the internet browser shortcuts, it will add the argument like ‘http://myallsearch.com/’ into Target property. So, each time you run the browser, you will see the Myallsearch.com unwanted page.

When your personal computer is infected, every time you run your internet browser you will see this site. Of course you can setup your home page again, but next time you launch a internet browser you will see that Myallsearch.com return. As mentioned above, the browser hijacker may change the default search engine on this unwanted web page too, so all your search queries will be rerouted to Myallsearch.com. Thus the authors of the hijacker may collect the search terms of your queries, and redirect you to malicious pages.

It may be pop-ups, text links in the web-sites, banners where they never had. What is more, the adware may replace the legitimate ads with malicious ads that will offer to download and install malware and unwanted software or visit the various dangerous and misleading web-pages.
