myGames Start Extension

Posted: February 20, 2018

The myGames Start Extension is a Chrome add-on by Myappline.com whose installation can't be completed unless the user agrees to allow this extension to replace the Chrome's default new tab. While changes of this sort are not harmful, they are likely to annoy users since the new tab page that the myGames Start Extension promotes might not be as credible and reliable as popular new tab sites like Google, Bing and Yahoo.

The myGames Start Extension might seem like an attractive application to install because it promises to give its users access to various online games that don't need to be installed to play them. While this is somewhat true, it is important to note that the content that the myGames Start Extension promotes is hosted by 3rd-party websites and services, which can be used without the installation of this particular add-on.

The new tab page that the myGames Start Extension is meant to advertise appears to be credible, but its reliability might change at any time since the page is not affiliated with a major company or name. If you have installed the myGames Start Extension, but you do not wish to continue using its services or are bothered by the fact that it is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), then you should consider removing it. The removal of this add-on can be executed either manually or with the use of an up-to-date PC security utility.
