About this infection

Home.myplaycity.com is a browser hijacker, usually bundled together with freeware. These infections are usually not very dangerous as they don’t directly damage your computer. However, hijackers change your browser settings without permission and then try to redirect users to sponsored sites.

Home-myplaycity

That is the whole reason why hijackers even exist. While it’s not a serious infection, some hijackers are able to redirect to malicious sites where malware could be lurking. So if you want to avoid a much more serious infection, you need to delete Home.myplaycity.com right away. You should be more careful about how you install free programs because you got the infection when you were installing one of them. We will explain how to avoid installing hijacker in the following paragraph.

How do you prevent hijacker infections

Hijackers are added to free software as additional offers and you need to deselect them to prevent infection. This can be easily done if you pick Advanced or Custom settings during freeware installation. Those settings will show you if anything has been added. If there is something, you will allowed to deselect it/them. And you should deselect everything because those items do not belong on your computer. Refrain from using Default settings and rushing installation because it will lead to unwanted programs setting up. It is much easier to uncheck a few boxes than it would be to remove Home.myplaycity.com or similar later one, so you should make sure you prevent installations from the very beginning.

Why uninstall Home.myplaycity.com?

The hijacker will immediately change your browser’s settings and set its promoted website as your homepage, new tabs and search engine. This will happen on all leading browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, so you won’t be able to miss the alterations. They will happen without permission and will be irreversible unless you first delete Home.myplaycity.com. Your new homepage will have loads of online games, as well as a search engine. We do not recommend engaging with anything on the site because not all of it will be safe. And hijackers aim to redirect you to sponsored sites, so it’s doubtful you will encounter something useful. Be especially wary of the search engine provided results because some will lead to sponsored or even malicious sites. This could result in a much more serious infection. Hijackers do not check the security of a website, they merely want to redirect you. And we recommend you remove Home.myplaycity.com as soon as possible, if you want to avoid a more serious infection.

Home.myplaycity.com removal

There are two ways you uninstall Home.myplaycity.com, manually and automatically. If you go with manual Home.myplaycity.com removal, you will have to find the hijacker yourself, but we will provide instructions to help you. If you have anti-spyware software, you can use it to erase the hijacker, and that would the simplest way.
