Posted: August 19, 2020

SimplyDIYOnline is a browser add-on developed and distributed by MyWay, previously known as the Mindspark Interactive Network. The name of this software publisher is associated with plenty of suspicious browser extensions. SimplyDIYOnline is just one of the many names in the list of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) that Mindspark has unleashed online.

Users may be offered to install SimplyDIYOnline if they are interested in do-it-yourself projects and guides – the extension claims to provide them with helpful resources and libraries that will enable them to discover interesting and easy-to-follow DIY projects. However, SimplyDIYOnline's primary interest is to generate traffic for the search engine found at Hp.myway.com. The add-on does this by setting the website as your Web browser's default new tab page or search engine.

Of course, it is not recommended to keep using software that manipulates your browser's behavior negatively. To dispose of SimplyDIYOnline and get rid of the changes it brought, you should run a suitable security tool capable of removing Potentially Unwanted Programs.
