Search.myradioxp.com is a search engine which the majority of users notice on their browsers after they initiate or agree with the installation of MyRadioXP. This software advertises itself as a must-have app for radio streaming, so it is not surprising at all that so many people download and install it on their systems. We cannot blame them because this piece of software makes so many promises (e.g. to enable users to listen to online radio) and thus looks really useful. If you have already added an extension and now see the presence of Search.myradioxp.com, you should get rid of it and set another search engine right now. We do not recommend keeping it because it might put your system at risk.

MyRadioXP not only has its official website, but it is also available at the Chrome Web Store. We have managed to find out that Google Chrome users have downloaded this extension 13,250 times, which means that this add-on is rather popular. We do not know the exact number of other users; however, we suspect that this extension is really popular. Our specialists have noticed that MyRadioXP is very popular in the United States, but, of course, it does not mean that you cannot notice it on your system if you live somewhere else too. It is not surprising at all that the majority of users who have MyRadioXP on board and see the presence of Search.myradioxp.com live in the USA because the company which has developed this software is located there too. Specialists have noticed that the software itself has been updated on the 18th of December, 2015; however, we are sure that other older versions exist and users have them installed.

After you install MyRadioXP, you will notice Search.myradioxp.com immediately. In addition, extensions will be added to your browsers. Specialists say that Google Chrome users might notice the extension folder (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ijinnpmmaakgiepakhpjdbmmlnapkpmp) as well. Search.myradioxp.com looks like a decent search engine that can really help users find the information on the web and also enable them to listen to online radio stations; however, we still cannot say that Search.myradioxp.com is a very trustworthy search engine. We do not trust Search.myradioxp.com fully because we believe that it might present users with sponsored search results like MyInterestXP and MyTelevisionXP applications. There is no doubt that it will do that because it tends to redirect all the search queries through extsearch.maxwebsearch.com before showing Yahoo! search results. Sponsored search results might be full of untrustworthy links and advertisements but you will not know which of them are bad, so it might be really dangerous to click on any of them.

We do not think that it is the best idea to keep Search.myradioxp.com also because it might collect information about you. It says that it collects personally-identifiable information, e.g. name, email, or other information which you provide. In addition to this, it informs users in its Privacy Policy that it will collect and store URLs, information about search activities, and other details. We are sure that it is going to act like that because there is a sentence that “by using the services, you are consenting to grant MyRadioXP permission to collect your URLs and search data, including search queries that may contain personally identifiable information, share them with third parties, and use search-related cookies.” As you have probably understood, your privacy is at risk if you decide to keep and use Search.myradioxp.com.

Search.myradioxp.com is definitely not the search engine that should be kept and used to find the relevant information on the web. As we care about your safety, we have prepared instructions and placed them below this article in order to help you with the removal of this suspicious search engine. If these instructions are too complicated, you can scan your system with a reputable antimalware tool in order to fully erase Search.myradioxp.com and the extension responsible for its existence. Not all the tools will help you, so if you decide to go for the automatic Search.myradioxp.com removal, download and install SpyHunter. Have you still decided to implement the manual Search.myradioxp.com removal? If so, do not forget that it is also a must to uninstall other untrustworthy programs that exist on the system. In other words, it does not mean that your system is clean after you eliminate Search.myradioxp.com manually.
