MyMovie Start

Posted: March 20, 2017

The MyMovie Start is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may cause some unwanted changes to your Web browser's configuration once it is installed. The installation of the MyMovie Start can occur in two ways – either via direct download or a drive-by install performed by a 3rd-party download manager or low-quality software bundle. Due to the second method, sometimes users might opt to install the MyMovie Start application unknowingly, and may end up wondering why their browser's homepage or new tab page has been changed.

The MyMovie Start is promoted by MyAppLine, a company whose website offers a broad range of browser utilities similar to the MyMovie Start. The extension in question promises users to provide them with an improved search engine that will help them find the best online movies. While the page that the MyMovie Start promotes may indeed list some movies, it's search feature should not be considered reliable. The search field there may lead to a results page hosted by Gomovix.com, a page that hosts information about movies, TV series, actors, and other information related to the movie industry predominantly.

Although the MyMovie Start software is not unsafe, it's removal is recommended since it may be the cause for some unwanted and usually unwelcome changes to the Web browser's configuration. The MyMovie Start can be dealt with in two ways – either by removing it manually or by running an anti-malware tool that also is suitable for the removal of PUPs.
