Adware.Mipony is adware that may compromise online searches of the PC user by changing search results with sponsored links and forcibly diverting the computer user to questionable websites with mainly ad-related content. Adware.Mipony may embed a potentially unwanted add-on, plug-in or extension in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome when computer users install various freeware from suspicious download websites. When computer users install any free apps and not pay attention to any additional software that may be added into the installation process, they may also install undesirable add-ons like Adware.Mipony on their PCs. When installed, Adware.Mipony may take over and modify an online search box in any website and change it with its own. Adware.Mipony may display annoying pop-up advertisements and reroute computer users to unreliable websites designed to possibly generate advertising revenue from increased website traffic and forced ad clicks.
