Posted: February 19, 2018

The myTV Search Plus Extension is compatible with Google Chrome, and many users might be tempted to install it because they might think that it will give them the opportunity to watch various TV channels from their Web browser directly. Unfortunately for them, this is not what myTV Search Plus Extension does, and its installation will not really enhance the Chrome's functionality in any way. Instead, it might cause minor yet annoying changes to the Chrome's configuration. For example, myTV Search Plus Extension is known to replace the Chrome's default search aggregator with Tv.searchalgo.com. While this change is not harmful, the search results displayed by Tv.searchalgo.com might not be as credible as the ones brought by Bing, Yahoo, Google, or other credible search engines.

The myTV Search Plus Extension is being offered by Myappline.com, but it is likely that the majority of users will encounter it via online ads and pop-ups. While the installation of this add-on is not recommended, you can rest assured that having it on your computer is not an immediate threat to your online safety. If you are not happy with the features and changes that myTV Search Plus Extension brings, then we suggest that you eliminate this add-on either via manual removal or with the help of a credible and up-to-date PC security product.
