Search.bookmyflightco.co

Posted: January 23, 2017

Was your new tab page changed to Search.bookmyflight.co unexpectedly? If this has happened to you, then you can rest assured that you are not the only computer user to experience this mildly annoying issue. The reason why this happens is that you may have authorized the installation of BookMyFlight, a Web browser extension by Eightpoint Technologies LTD recently. This software is identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program by multiple anti-virus product vendors, and many of Eightpoint Technologies' products are also known for having a tendency to tamper with Web browser settings.

The BookMyFlight extension is meant to provide users with a quick way to look for ticket availability and prices, as well as to book a ticket from the comfort of their Web browser. However, all of the operations that BookMyFlight claims to offer can be executed easily by simply visiting the online ticket store of the airline company's services you've chosen to use. Besides this, the installation of BookMyFlight extension requires users to authorize the program to change their default homepage to Search.bookmyflight.co. The Search.bookmyflight.co is a simple search engine that also may include several quick links to travel-related services such as booking tickets, tracking flights, booking a hotel, etc.

Since BookMyFlight is a PUP, removing it is not mandatory, especially if you find some of its features useful. However, if you are not happy with the extension's features, as well as with the fact that it forces you to use Search.bookmyflight.co as your new tab page, then you should consider taking action to uninstall the unwanted software. The removal of BookMyFlight can be completed manually, or via a suitable computer security application.
