Mystart.dealwifi.com

You can only change your browser’s home page to Mystart.dealwifi.com by changing the URL manually or by installing an application called DealWifi. It is recommended that you remove this search engine at a moment’s notice, because it cannot be trusted. We tried using the search engine and its affiliated application, and from what we gather the search engine in unreliable and the application did not seem to work properly. In this article we are going to discuss the disadvantages of having Mystart.dealwifi.com, because, truth be told, it does not have any advantages whatsoever. If you have doubt about that being true, then we kindly suggest that you read this article as is presents he most relevant information.

In all honesty, the way the installation is set up is not intrusive or aggressive. When you run DealWifi’s installation setup, the installation wizard will offer you to change your browser’s homepage to Mystart.dealwifi.com. Oddly enough, the checkbox is unmarked. It comes as a surprise, since in most cases the box is purposefully checked so that inattentive users would install a program accidentally. Note that the installation setup will change the homepage only for Google Chrome, but the application DealWifi will work on all Windows computers.

We wanted to see if the host application is any good so we put it to the test, but to our disappointment it did not work as expected. But, frankly, it is not surprising with claims, such as that the application will protect your online privacy, protect you from phishing, loitering and DNS hacking it is obviously a bluff. So it can be said that DealWifi belongs in the recycling bin. As far as the search engine is concerned, we can say that it works, but we see no point in keeping it. Mystart.dealwifi.com will keep tabs or in other words spy your search and browsing history. It will collect information to, allegedly, improve the product’s performance, and so on. Once major issue here is that it might share that information with affiliated third parties that might even be willing to pay for this information, since it can be used for advertising purposes.

Mystart.dealwifi.com’s privacy policy does not sate that it displays advertisements, but we have a hunch that it might based on its clone. Yes, clone. Mystart.dealwifi.com is basically the same as Mystart.myoivu.com, but they are promoted by very different applications. While DealWifi is supposedly a Wi-Fi sharing tool, OIVU is an image viewer. The usefulness of these programs can be debated, but since they come with their unreliable search engines, it is likely that they are bad news as well. In fact, both the search engines and the aforementioned applications have been released by someone who likes making up company names, since Mystart.dealwifi.com has been released by Rafo Technology Inc, but Mystart.myoivu.com has been released by Beijing Muxing Technology Co. Ltd. Lots of abbreviations to make that websites and apps look legitimate.

So, Mystart.dealwifi.com is known to be distributed on several websites. The first one we want to mention is its dedicated website at Dealwifi.com. And Mystart.dealwifi.com does not hide in the shadows, because it can also be downloaded from Cnet.com, Softonic.com, and Softwareinformer.com. Definitely, it has a lot of distribution channels, but it does not seem to be very popular, which is good.

We hope that the information we provided is was useful. Mystart.dealwifi.com has no obvious purpose even though it works and can be used daily. However, since it has been developed by a mysterious company that constantly changes its name, you should not trust it. It collects information about you and shares it with unreliable people. Therefore, we suggest suing our manual removal guide if you want to remove Mystart.dealwifi.com and DealWifi.
