My Way's logo

My Way is a web portal offering a number of news, shopping, e-mail and web services. The web portal also distributes MyWay Searchbar, a spyware service that comes preinstalled on some Dell[1][2] and HP computers[3]. It is also distributed with Kazaa, a program owned by Sharman Networks, with whom My Way's company shares revenue.[4] It manifests itself as a searchbar and pop-up blocker.[5]

The MyWay portal was prominently featured as the portal of choice on the Drudge Report for most AP articles until 2007, when he instead switched to Andrew Breitbart's breitbart.com portal.
