What can be said about this contamination
If ScanMyReg virus reroutes are bothering you, you may have an ad-supported application contaminating your OS. If you did not pay close attention to when you were installing a freeware, you may have easily ended up with adware. Because of adware’s quiet entry, users who are not familiar with an advertising-supported program might be baffled about what is going on. The adware will make intrusive pop-up advertisements but will not directly endanger your PC, as it isn’t a malicious computer virus. Adware may, however, lead to malware by redirecting you to a dangerous website. An advertising-supported program will not be useful to you so we suggest you delete ScanMyReg virus.

How does an advertising-supported application work
Advertising-supported software may manage to install onto the system without proper authorization from you, using freeware. If you haven’t noticed already, the majority of free programs travel along with unwanted offers. Those items include advertising-supported software, browser hijackers and other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). You should avoid choosing Default settings during installation, because those settings fail to tell you about added items, which allows them to install. We recommend choosing Advanced (Custom) instead. If you select Advanced instead of Default, you will be allowed to deselect all, so you are recommended to select those. You can never know what kind of items may come with freeware so always select those settings.
The most noticeable clue of an adware contamination is the never ending adverts appearing on your screen. Whether you are using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, you may encounter the symptoms on all of them. The only way to fully terminate the adverts is to abolish ScanMyReg virus, so you should proceed with that as soon as possible. The entire reason behind an ad-supported software’s existence is to present you advertisements.Adware might every now and then display you a pop-up advising you to install some kind of program but downloading from such dubious pages would be a huge mistake.Avoid getting programs or updates from random adverts, and stick to official portals. In case you did not know, files obtained from adware created advertisements could lead to a much more severe infection. The adware will also cause your browser to fail to load and your machine to work much slower. Adware bring only inconveniences so we suggest you uninstall ScanMyReg virus as soon as possible.
