DailyFunnyWorld Toolbar
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is hp.myway.com?
DailyFunnyWorld is one of many apps developed by Mindspark Interactive. It provides users with access to various funny videos, photos, memes, GIFs, and other popular websites directly from their web browsers.
Despite this, DailyFunnyWorld app is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), a browser hijacker, since many users install this app unintentionally. Furthermore, it promotes a dubious search engine (hp.myway.com).
DailyFunnyWorld targets browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. Once installed, it changes affected browser settings such as the homepage, default search engine, and new tab URL by assigning them to hp.myway.com.
Therefore, users with DailyFunnyWorld installed are forced to visit this website when they open their browser or a new browser tab, or enter a search query into the URL bar. It is impossible to undo these changes unless this app is uninstalled.
Like most apps of this type, DailyFunnyWorld prevents users from undoing any of the changes - it reassigns them as soon as attempts are made to modify them. This application is not confirmed to collect data, however, most browser hijackers record browsing-related information such as IP addresses, search queries, URLs of visited websites, and so on.
These apps often record personal details. Developers share the data with third parties who misuse it to generate revenue. Thus, having these browser hijackers installed can lead to various problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, or even identity theft. We strongly advise you to uninstall all potentially unwanted applications, including DailyFunnyWorld, immediately.

Many other apps are developed by the same company. Some examples are TaxCenterNow, SportsHero, and CryptoPriceSearch. They might be designed to provide different features, however, all promote dubious search engines and hijack browsers.
Browser hijackers deliver none of the features promised or tools and are designed only to generate revenue for their developers. In most cases, claims to enable useful functionality are merely attempts to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install.
How did DailyFunnyWorld install on my computer?
DailyFunnyWorld app can be downloaded from its website, however, developers also promote it via the "bundling" method, which is used to trick people into downloading/installing potentially unwanted applications together with other software. Typically, this is achieved by hiding unwanted apps in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings of the download or installation set-ups.
Information about the inclusion of these apps is not properly disclosed, however, these unintentional installations usually occur due to careless behaviour by users who skip installation/download steps without changing any settings.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Download and install software with care. Do not skip download/installation steps without first checking available options or settings. Opt-out of offers to install additional software (unwanted apps) before finishing the download or installation process.
Do not download software using third party downloaders, unofficial websites, peer-to-peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, and so on. Download your software using official websites and direct links. Remember, many untrustworthy, deceptive ads lead to adult dating, gambling, and pornography sites.
If you encounter these redirects, it is likely that a browser hijacker or other unwanted app is installed on your browser or computer. Check the list of installed add-ons, extensions, and plug-ins on your browser and remove any suspicious, unknown or unwanted entries immediately.
Also check the list of installed programs on your computer. If your computer is already infected with DailyFunnyWorld, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
