In its basic functionality, MyMovie Start does not differ all that much from other hijackers that are active nowadays. Right after it enters your operating system, it will install a suspicious third-party browser extension. This plug-in is essential to the overall functionality of this hijacker since it triggers the changes of your web browser's default settings and keeps them in-tact. The main alterations imposed by this devious piece of software are of your default home page and new tab page. While it might not seem like a big deal, you should know that having these modifications in place will make surfing the web a much more bothersome experience. That is so because you will have no choice whatsoever but to start every single online session on a suspicious third-party website. The same will happen in regards to your new tab page as you will be presented with a suspicious site instead of a blank page that you are used to. In addition to that our research team has discovered that this devious hijacker could also establish lasting connectivity to an adware server and so flood your web browser with undesirable third-party web content.

If you happen to click on such a link, there is a chance that you could end up on a website that might be running an arbitrary code execution exploit; just entering such a website could be enough to get your PC infected with some unknown malicious program.

It goes without saying that entering any of these web pages might have detrimental outcomes. It is also important to note that this hijacker could also be spread via bundled installers.
