MyNewsFree

Posted: August 13, 2020

MyNewsFree is a browser add-on that may attract your interest by offering to provide you with news updates and notifications when there is something interesting happening around in the world. However, MyNewsFree's helpfulness is questionable at best – this extension does not deliver any relevant content and, instead, all it does is to replace your browser's default search page and new tab page. For example, if you open a new tab, you will be redirected to Search.mynewsfree.com instead of your usual favorite website. On top of this, initializing a Web search through the address bar may take you to the same website.

If you are wondering how MyNewsFree delivers news content, then the answer is that it does this via the page it redirects you to – Search.mynewsfree.com has a toolbar with links to popular news services like Fox News, CNN, NY Times and others.

MyNewsFree is marked as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP, which may bring unexpected and unwanted changes to Web browsers. You can remove this software by using a suitable computer security scanner.
