Myhypenews

Myhypenews is a browser hijacking software that changes web browser settings to include unwelcome advertisements in the browser’s search results. Myhypenews may replace the existing homepage, the default search engine, or the new tab page with another one, which redirects users to sponsored web sites.

If this strange program has invaded your web browser (it could be Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.) and you’re not sure what to do to remove it, we’ve got just what you need. Below, there is a removal guide with instructions on how to safely detect and uninstall Myhypenews, as well as a professional removal tool for an in-depth system scan.

Most probably, the reason you have no patience to get rid of this software is that you’ve noticed some potentially unwanted changes in your web browser that now prevent you from browsing the web as before. A new homepage has probably welcomed you the very moment you opened the browsing app and a new search engine has probably replaced your default search engine without your approval. As a result, now your search results mostly consist of sponsored content. The screen of your browser is also probably flooded with banners, pop-ups, pop-unders, box messages, and links that constantly redirect you to specific websites. But what’s worse, regardless of what you’re trying to do, the browser modifications imposed by Myhypenews won’t go away. If you follow the steps in the removal guide below, however, this will help you to locate and uninstall all Myhypenews-related files once and for all which will also take care of the changes in your browser.

Access the Task Manager by pressing together the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys and then selecting Task Manager.
Open Processes and there try to find a process with the name of the unwanted software. If you find it, select it with the right button of the mouse and click on the Open File Location option.
If you don’t see a “Myhypenews” process in the Task Manager, look for another suspicious process with an unusual name. It is likely that the unwanted process would be using lots of RAM and CPU so pay attention to the number of resources each process is using.
Tip: If you think you have singled out the unwanted process but are not sure, it’s always a good idea to search for information about it on the Internet – this should give you a general idea if the process is a legitimate one from a regular program or from your OS or if it is indeed likely linked to the adware.
If you find another suspicious process, open its File Location too.
Once in the File Location folder for the suspicious process, start testing all of the files that are stored there by dragging them to our free online scanner available below.

If all files get deleted normally, exit the folder and delete that folder too. If one or more of the files showed an error message when you tried to delete them, leave them for now and return to try to delete them again once you’ve completed the rest of the guide.

What is Myhypenews?

But let’s first explain what exactly you’re dealing with the Myhypenews virus. The Myhypenews virus is a browser hijacker – a type of software created solely for advertisement generation and distribution.
This software is completely legal and has no malicious code which can damage your computer like a virus or malware. Browser hijackers promote different banners, pop-ups, and sponsored redirect links by displaying them on the users’ screens. At the same time, they generate income for their developers based on how many times the users click on the displayed ads. Therefore, getting the users to click on as many advertisements as possible is in the best interest of the developers of programs like Myhypenews or Lookaside.fbsbx.com and they use various methods to increase the chances of landing more clicks from users. For example, they set the browser hijacker to display the ads on top of the web pages you are visiting in such a way that avoiding them would be very difficult. They also keep bombarding you with dozens of ads with the hope that you will eventually click on some of them

Is Myhypenews dangerous?

However, interacting with the random on-screen advertisements is not advisable as some of them may redirect you to unreliable web locations and even expose you to malware. In fact, security experts have been warning that malicious ads, also known as malvertisements, are still one of the preferred methods for the distribution of viruses and other widespread threats such as Trojans and Ransomware. Unfortunately, a malicious ad oftentimes cannot be distinguished from a regular one an you may easily get confused and click on the infected advert, believing that you are interacting with a real promotional message. In reality, however, once clicked on, the malvertisement might immediately inject the hidden infection in the computer and you may suddenly be greeted by a Ransomware, a Spyware, or by some other dangerous virus.
Taking this risk into account, you should better be careful with everything that Myhypenews displays on your screen and take the necessary steps to remove it before you end up clicking on something misleading or potentially hazardous.
