What is MyPrivacyManager hijacker

MyPrivacyManager is a yet another browser hijacker that changes preferences of your browser to make users visit sponsored websites. MyPrivacyManager virus can be downloaded from the Google Chrome web store, but mostly, it spreads with the help of software bundling or is installed via third-party websites intentionally. Once this happens, it sets the browser’s homepage and search engine to https://hp.myway.com/*** page. The users affected by this browser hijacker might notice that their searches are filled with sponsored links. Clicking on these results can lead you to shady websites that you typically try to avoid visiting. Moreover, websites that users visit are filled with pop-ups, deals, offers, banners, in-text links, and other commercial content. We guess that these reasons are enough to understand that MyPrivacyManager removal is necessary if you want to protect your computer from possible damage.
