My News Wire by SaferBrowser

Posted: August 8, 2016

My News Wire is a Potentially Unwanted Program whose installation may introduce a new toolbar to Google Chrome and also may change the user's default new tab page to a search engine linked to MyNewsWire.co, the toolbar's official website. This software product is delivered by SaferBrowser, a developer whose name is often linked to Potentially Unwanted Programs that may attach themselves to Web browsers and modify some of their settings. In the case of My News Wire, the only notable change is the different default new tab page and the My News Wire Toolbar that may appear right below Chrome's address bar.

The My News Wire toolbar promises to provide users with the latest news regardless of the topic. The program borrows its updates from popular news outlets, and it does indeed bring the latest politics news, sports updates and other popular news topics. However, all of this information is available for free and can be accessed by simply visiting one of your favorite news websites. This puts My News Wire's usefulness in question, and many users might decide not to use this program because of the negative changes it may bring to their Web browser.

If you believe the My News Wire software isn't as useful as it seems to be, or if you don't want it to change your new tab page and display its toolbar whenever you are using your Web browser, then you should take the necessary measures to remove the My News Wire Toolbar from your computer. Since My News Wire Toolbar is installed as a Web browser extension, it can be removed from Google Chrome via the 'Installed Extensions' menu manually. Automatic removal is also possible, and you can rest assured that any potent anti-malware solution will deal with My News Wire Toolbar swiftly.
