Search.mydailyversexp.com Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is search.mydailyversexp.com?
My Daily Verse XP is a potentially unwanted browser-hijacking program (PUP) claiming to allow users read the Bible, check local weather forecasts, and search the Internet. By giving these fake promises, My Daily Verse XP often tricks users into believing that it is legitimate and useful.
Be aware, however, that after stealthily infiltrating the system, My Daily Verse XP modifies web browser settings, generates intrusive online advertisements, and continually tracks Internet browsing activity.
My Daily Verse XP modifies the Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox new tab URL, default search engine, and homepage browser settings by assigning them to the search.mydailyversexp.com website. Furthermore, it installs several browser plug-ins/apps to prevent users from reverting these changes.
Furthermore, My Daily Verse XP generates intrusive online advertisements that might redirect users to malicious sites. By delivering content-concealing advertisements and continually causing unwanted browser redirects, My Daily Verse XP significantly diminishes the Internet browsing experience.
In addition, this rogue app monitors Internet browsing activity. My Daily Verse XP records various types of browsing-related data that might contain personally identifiable details. These are shared with third party companies who can misuse private data to generate revenue.
Thus, My Daily Verse XP poses a direct threat to your privacy. For these reasons, this PUP should be uninstalled immediately.
My Daily Verse XP Privacy Policy regarding information sharing:
We may also collect, use and store information about your search activity when you use web search services (such as search queries) (“Search Data”). This information may be shared with third-party applications that use Search Data to function, or to offer you more customized information, advertising and services. Your Search Data is collected and stored and may include personally identifiable information, depending on your search query. For instance, if you search your own name, personally identifiable information would be included in the search query. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO GRANT My Daily Verse XP PERMISSION TO COLLECT YOUR URLS AND SEARCH DATA, INCLUDING SEARCH QUERIES THAT MAY CONTAIN PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, SHARE THEM WITH THIRD PARTIES, AND USE SEARCH-RELATED COOKIES.
This browser hijacker is identical to Your Maps Center, My Internet Speed, Fast Maps Now, and a number of other PUPs. All offer different features, however, they have identical behavior.
None provide the functionality promised. My Daily Verse XP, and other identical apps, cause unwanted browser redirects, track Internet browsing activity, and generate intrusive online advertisements. Their purpose is to generate revenue for the developers - users receive no real value.
How did search.mydailyversexp.com install on my computer?
The developers employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' as one of the main My Daily Verse XP distribution methods. Bundling is essentially stealth installation of third party programs with regular software/apps. Developers hide potentially unwanted programs within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings.
These are often skipped by users who rush the download and installation processes - this often leads to inadvertent installation of malicious applications such as My Daily Verse XP and exposes systems to risk of infection whilst compromising users' privacy.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Most rogue applications are concealed and, therefore, you should closely analyze the download and installation processes. Use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings during these processes and follow each step. Furthermore, opt-out of all bundled programs, since additionally-included apps are mostly infectious.
