About Search.emailaccessonline.com browser hijacker

Search.emailaccessonline.com is a browser extension created by SpringTech, also known as EightPoint/Polarity, and a clone of other browser hijackers like Get News Fast, How To DIY, and Your Email Simplified. All these browser viruses operate as add-ons and it can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and even Safari.

Despite its wide reach, Search.emailaccessonline.com has nothing to offer users – you’ll access your email no faster with it installed than without it. That’s because Search.emailaccessonline.com is incredibly basic and made just for the purpose of hijacking your browser.

Once inside of your system, Search.emailaccessonline.com will change some settings on web browsers: you get a different homepage, and your default search engine is new. Now, every time you open the web browser, the search.emailaccessonline.com website will be displayed instead of your regular homepage.

Search.emailaccessonline.com – privacy and ads

Search.emailaccessonline.com is presented as a search engine that is fast and convenient to use. However, it is not true and you should not trust it. Search.emailaccessonline.com has no unique search functionality to offer and besides, all search queries are executed using Yahoo. You might be curious about the explanation for this – why does Search.emailaccessonline.com replace your homepage and your search engine? Well, hijackers invade browsers to steal people’s browsing history and search terms. Then they use that data to figure out what ads to show you and make deals with advertisers.

Search.emailaccessonline.com might collect your personal data without even informing you about that. Such data as your browsing history, most visited websites, IP and email addresses or search queries can be collected and used to improve ads so that they look more relevant and attractive to you.

Using Search.emailaccessonline.com, you will notice a lot of advertisements on all pages that you go to, including in web search results. Email Access Online is not just a hijacker – it’s an adware virus. It will display ads in all kinds of forms, including pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tabs or even windows with ads can be opened at any time as well. Those ads are very annoying so it’s just another reason to remove Search.emailaccessonline.com from your computer as soon as possible. These ads appear instead of genuine content and make searching for information frustrating. Pop-ups show up on e-shops and other websites, distracting you and trying to promote low-quality and counterfeit products.
