What is MyChristianPortal?
Although MyChristianPortal claims to help you access Bible verses, holiday recipes, Christian music, and all the Christian resources you might ever need, this extension is not extremely useful, and there is also room to doubt its reliability. Nonetheless, it can be downloaded for free onto Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, and so we assume that people will continue doing that. Is that a good idea? Should you remove the extension? What other steps should be taken afterward? What methods can be employed to delete MyChristianPortal? These are the questions that we are answering in this report with the help of our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team. If you have further questions or want to discuss the topics presented in this report, please use the comments section below.
How does MyChristianPortal work?
MyChristianPortal was created by Mindspark Interactive Network, the same company that created NoteHomepage Toolbar, MyFileConvert Toolbar, and tons of other extensions. They usually have official websites, and the one used by the PUP discussed in this report is mychristianportal.com. On this website, you can find the link to the Privacy Policy, some information about the extension, and also an installer if you are using Mozilla Firefox. If you use Google Chrome, you are routed to the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mychristianportal/ddlgplemmmbibdngmopialjfhdffpkan) to find this installer. This source provides additional important information. For example, did you know that the seemingly beneficial extension can read your browsing history, take over the New Tab page, display notifications, and also read and change your data on selected websites? These are not the things you can ignore, and if you can spare a few minutes, you should really go to eula.mindspark.com/ask/pp.html (or eula.askapplications.com/eula/) to review the privacy policies. The extension might seem useless, but you should not hesitate to remove it if its permissions and activity do not match your expectations.
Of course, many users of MyChristianPortal are likely to ignore how the PUP records data, spies on users, or the creators’ affiliations with unknown parties. That is because they might find the services offered by this PUP quite attractive. Well, we doubt that many people would find the PUP attractive, considering that all it can do is present a list of links to third-party websites and a search dialog box that represents search.myway.com. It is notable that this search tool is always represented by Mindspark toolbars, which suggests that these extensions might have been built primarily to introduce it. Other than that, the PUP offers links to allaboutcuisines.com/festive-recipes/Christian, christianitytoday.com, accuweather.com, shein.com, aliexpress.com, worldofwarships.eu/, google.com/gmail, yahoo.com, and facebook.com. It also opens a list of, supposedly, Christian music videos on youtube.com. Does this make MyChristianPortal useful? We do not think that it does, and that is one of the reasons this extension is classified as a PUP. So, do you still think that it could be useful? If you do not, perhaps it is time to delete it?
How to delete MyChristianPortal
MyChristianPortal is a simple extension, and so you can delete it as that. If you have no experience removing unwanted extensions from Firefox or Chrome, we welcome you to use the instructions below. It is also a good idea to clear browsing data because the PUP uses cookies to collect and store information about you and your activity. If you have scanned your system, you already know if you need to remove MyChristianPortal along with any additional threats. If you have yet to scan the system, do it as soon as possible. If you are facing multiple threats, there is no doubt that implementing anti-malware software is the best choice. We also recommend installing this software to ensure full-time protection in the future. Our final advice pertains to the installation of new extensions in the future. Every time you install a new extension – or a new program, for that matter – you must research it beforehand. If you do that, hopefully, you will not need to worry about removing PUPS or even dangerous threats in the future.
