Mybeesearch.com is a search page that may replace your default new tab page even though you might not remember authorizing this change. This is because the Mybeesearch.com page may be promoted with the assistance of browser extensions that claim to provide users with access to various features and utilities that can enhance their Web browsing experience. Having your new tab page replaced with Mybeesearch.com is not a major issue since the latter does not appear to be suspicious or harmful and, in fact, using it as a default search page might not be an issue since Mybeesearch.com displays results provided by the Yahoo Search. However, it is important to note that Mybeesearch.com is not affiliated with Yahoo, and the search provider that the page uses may be changed at any point in time. This means that the reliable search results that Mybeesearch.com displays at the moment might not be there in a few weeks, and they might be replaced with unreliable or sponsored search results.

Mybeesearch.com does not appear to be linked to external pages, nor does it contain any ads. However, since the page may not be a reputable search provider and it is promoted with the assistance of questionable software, it is recommended to remove the extension that brought Mybeesearch.com and to restore your default new tab page setting to its previous value. Since Mybeesearch.com might not be linked to more than one browser extension, some users might not be able to identify the troublemaker in the list of installed browser extensions. If you are one of these users, then we advise you to use a reputable anti-malware scanner to identify and eliminate the software responsible for Mybeesearch.com's presence in your Web browser.
