If your browser began to open tons of advertisements signed with MyBeeSearchService or MyBeeSearch, then most probably your computer has become a victim of ‘ad-supported’ software (also known as adware) that usually gets installed as a part of some free applications. Do not be surprised, it happens, especially if you are an active World Wide Web user. But this does not mean that you should reconcile with these unwanted redirects and pop-up ads.

The adware usually affects only the Firefox, Google Chrome, IE and Edge by changing the internet browser’s settings or installing a harmful extensions (addons). Moreover, possible situations, when any other browsers will be affected too. The ‘ad supported’ software will perform a scan of the computer for internet browser shortcuts and modify them without your permission. When it infects the internet browser shortcuts, it will add the argument such as ‘http://site.address’ into Target property. So, each time you start the internet browser, you will see an annoying ad site.
The MyBeeSearchService ad-supported software is not a virus, but the virus behaves similarly. As a rootkit hides in the system, modifies web browser settings and blocks them from changing. Also the ad supported software can install additional web browser extensions, addons and modules that will inject advertising banners within the Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Edge’s screen. Moreover, the ad-supported software may install internet browser hijacker that once started, will modify the web browser’s homepage and search engine. And finally, the MyBeeSearch can collect a wide variety of personal information such as what web-sites you are opening, what you are looking for the World Wide Web and so on. This information, in the future, may be transferred to third parties.
