Home.emailaccountlogin.co virus - How to remove

Home.emailaccountlogin.co (Email Account Login) is yet another malware released by Polarity Technologies LTD. Yesterday we reviewed a browser hijacker developed by this firm and today we have another one – it seems that it’s on the rise at the moment. Usually, malware like this serves as a tool to distribute other infections, so if you are seeing this website as your homepage, you are currently at risk. However, with the application of proper tools and coordinated acts, you will be able to solve this problem without any serious consequences. Keep reading the post and we will assist you in removing Home.emailaccountlogin.co virus from your computer.

Polarity Technologies LTD is registered in Nora Court, 3rd floor, office 301, Cyprus 3040 and it’s one of the largest malware distributors in the market right now. We have noticed that around 80% of new malware right now is distributed by this company. This browser hijacker is no exception – it aims to steal the homepage of web browsers, change the default search engine, and display sponsored content/ distribute other malware, making profits this way.

What are the symptoms that you are most likely to experience if your computer is infected with this virus? First of all, both the homepage/new tab page and default search engine on your web browser will be set to home.emailaccountlogin.co. It might occur just on one of your web browsers, yet at the same time it might happen to several of them. As fas as we know, it is compatible with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. Since it is working as a browser add-on, it will be simply added to the extension list of web browsers.

Email Account Login/emailaccountlogin.co should be removed from your browser:

Classification of Email Account Login	Browser hijacker PUP (potentially unwanted program)
Hijacking info	VirusTotal link Search engine and new tab page replaced with emailaccountlogin.co Search results returned in Yahoo.com Gets access to your browsing history
Distribution methods	Adware viruses Freeware bundling Manual installation
Remove Email Account Login	Uninstall suspicious software Use antivirus programs to remove malware (Combo Cleaner for Mac, SpyHunter for PC) Uninstall Email Account Login and restore browser settings

As you might have noticed, this website looks like a regular search engine – it has a search box, several icons with links to popular websites – Gmail, Yahoo, and Facebook. It also features a slogan that says “enhanced by Google”, which means that though the results are based on Google’s, they’ve been modified. Basically, this malware is using legitimate software made by other companies to create something that can’t be considered entirely safe.

Now if you try to search for something using this search engine, you will notice that there are various sponsored results that goe above the actual organic search results. For instance, we tried to search for “Games” and this is what we get:

No matter what you are searching for, a link to the zapmeta.ws website will be the very first result. Zapmeta.ws is basically just another search engine, so you are running in circles this way. You can also notice several other sponsored results that lead to websites with a questionable reputation – the quality of ads always needs to be watched, as malicious actors can use ads to spread malware and scams. Unfortunately, some scammers offer a lot of money, so malvertising is a persistent problem.

If you take a closer look to the website, you notice that Home.emailaccountlogin.co is just a sub-domain, and the main domain is emailaccountlogin.co which is the homepage of the Email Account Login extension – a tool which should provide you with the ability to access multiple email accounts and manage them more efficiently on a single tab of a web browser. So this leads us to the conclusion that Home.emailaccountlogin.co is a distributor of Email Account Login and vice versa. By the way, the Email Account Login plugin was developed by the same Polarity Technologies LTD. And Email Account Login is no different from Email Assistant, Email Anytime, and Quick Email Access hijackers.

Since this website is not accessible on all browsers and on all locations while the Email Account Login extension is still popular, it is most likely that Home.emailaccountlogin.co is distributed bundled with other software. I.e. when you download some free application from the Internet and install it without paying much of attention, add-ons like this get add-ed to your web browsers.

All in all, Home.emailaccountlogin.co serves as a keyword and browsing history spy, distributor for zapmeta.ws, and monetizes your search by injecting ads in search results, so you definitely do not want to keep it installed. Removal of the Email Account Login browser hijacker like this is not very complicated – look it up below this article. We have developed a step-by-step Home.emailaccountlogin.co manual removal guide which should help you to get rid of this infection. However, if you want to speed things up, you should get a decent anti-malware tool, such as SpyHunter for Windows, Malwarebytes, or Combo Cleaner for Mac OS. All you do is scan your computer with one of those programs and it will take care of the security of your system from there. You can use other anti-malware software of your choice as well.
