MyPDFSearch

Posted: August 21, 2020

MyPDFSearch is an intrusive extension for Google Chrome. Users may be tempted to install it because it promises to grant them the ability to navigate and search the Web more efficiently, as well as take advantage of handy document conversion utilities. Sadly, MyPDFSearch's promises are fake, and users are likely to only experience annoying changes because of MyPDFSearch's installation.

This add-on is designed to bring traffic to the Web pages found at Feed.mypdf-search.com and Portal.mypdf-search.com. It does this by setting them as the Web browser's default search engine and new tab page, respectively. This means that you will end up visiting Mypdf-search.com whenever you try to use your Web browser. While this is not a security concern, it is understandable why it may be detrimental to your Web browsing experience.

MyPDFSearch is considered to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and you can ensure the removal of its components by running a computer security scanner. Once MyPDFSearch is gone, your browser's settings should be restored to their previous values automatically.
