MyBrowser
by The MyBrowser Authors
Overview
MyBrowser is a program developed by The MyBrowser Authors. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is mybrowser.exe. The software installer includes 20 files and is usually about 297.42 MB (311,867,178 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 13% of users of MyBrowser come from the United States, it is also popular in France and Brazil.
