Home.myflightapp.com

Home.myflightapp.com is a Yahoo-powered search engine enabling searchers to access air travel-related information. The search engine contains a themed toolbar containing links to websites offering flight booking, flight monitoring, and other related services. The service is provided by Eightpoint Technology Ltd., but managed by Polarity Technologies Ltd, which is already known to malware researchers due to its browser applications that in most cases alter browser settings and cause some inconvenience to users. The search engine Home.myflightapp.com is spread by a browser application named My Flight App, which falls to the category of potentially unwanted programs (PUP). Some researchers categorize the search engine Home.myflightapp.com as a browser hijacker because the changes on the browser can be made without prior notice. In any case, it is advisable to remove Home.myflightapp.com and restore the former settings to prevent unwanted redirections to questionable third party websites.

My Flight App is a browser extension for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. The version for the Chrome browser is available at chrome.google.com, where no highly specific information about the extension is provided, only that the extension enables you to check and track flights. The section providing additional information contains only a link to Polarity's privacy policy. All that you can find is that by using Polarity's services, you agree to be monitored by the service provider. Your search terms, which may contain personally identifiable information, clicks, advertisements viewed, and some other details, including technical characteristics of your device, are recorded and may be shared with third parties. This data is likely to be used for marketing purposes, which usually means that you could receive some targeted advertisements based on your preferences.

However, the Chrome store is not the only website from which computer users can get the My Flight App extension. If you are sure that you have not purposely installed the application or agreed to have the settings changed, that suggests that you have been deceived by some bundled file. A bundled file contains more than one program, and My Flight App might have been the additional application installed alongside some other program. To prevent such incidents, do not click on pop-up ads, web banners, and other third-party content that pops up to your screen while browsing the Internet or just using the PC, because one of those pop-ups may be ruinous.

The application changes the home page to Home.myflightapp.com which offers links to Flightstats.com, Cheapoair.com, Flightaware.com, and Google Maps. The access to these websites is provided in the toolbar and tile-like links displayed below the search box . On some of the websites promoted by Home.myflightapp.com, you will find third-party advertisements offering similar services. However, we advise you against clicking on such advertisements because you cannot know to what website you will be directed. Such third-party advertisements may be used to trick unsuspecting users into downloading malware or revealing personal information. You should be critical to all the content delivered to your screen through this application.

It is also possible that My Flight App could change the homepage to search.searchismfa.com. This search engine, as well is Home.myflightapp.com, is powered by Yahoo to deliver not only natural search results but tons of paid links. Moreover, the two search engine, Home.myflightapp.com and Search.searchismfa.com collect information about the user’s behavior just like many other search engines do, but that does not mean that they are as reliable as the most popular and publicly acknowledged search providers.

If you have no intention of using My Flight App and the search engines it offers, do not wait any longer. Implement a reputable security tool which will remove the program for you and shield the system so that no similar incidents take place in the future. In case you are determined to try removing Home.myflightapp.com manually, use the removal guide given below. After having solved the issue, consider scanning the PC to make sure that your device is not affected by any other potentially unwanted program or malware.
