Why Should You Avoid My Inbox Helper?

My Inbox Helper is a potentially unwanted program

My Inbox Helper is distributed in a way that leads people to install it unintentionally. It also makes unwanted changes to your settings without warning you, such as setting Downloadmyinboxhelper/Hdownloadmyinboxhelper as your home page. Finally, these My Inbox Helper sites monetize their audiences by delivering various advertisements, redirecting users to other websites, collecting their private information, and so on.

The extension My Inbox Helper is described as a free tool that will help you access your email accounts. But it largely fails at that – it only offers links to a few popular email providers and still requires a few clicks to open them. The Downloadmyinboxhelper sites are much more focused on advertising than on improving email access.

After My Inbox Helper is installed, it changes both  the new tab and the default search provider to Search.downloadmyinboxhelper.com, Hdownloadmyinboxhelper.com, or Hdownloadmyinboxhelper.tool. It may also change the notification settings so that it can show pop-ups on your screen any time your browser is open.

As a result, it might look as if an adware virus was installed on your computer.

Malware, Privacy, and Malicious Ads

Search.downloadmyinboxhelper.com was developed by Polarity Technologies LTD. This company is responsible for creating many newtab viruses – Search.searchmmd.com, Search.mydailyversexp.com, Search.search-el.com, others. So it isn’t really shocking that My Inbox Helper is just another malicious extension.

In fact, My Inbox Helper is detected by many antivirus scanners as Malicious, Adware, and even Trojan. Antivirus vendors appear to agree unanimously that My Inbox Helper is bad news.

Another interesting item is My Inbox Helper’s privacy policy. It reveals just how much data this extension can log (most importantly, your search terms):

The data that My Inbox Helper collects might include some personal information. And this information could be transferred to third parties or used for targeted advertising.

Also, by using Search.downloadmyinboxhelper.com or Hdownloadmyinboxhelper.com, you might be exposed to a lot of sponsored results that might promote unsafe content. Expect lower quality ads than those you see on mainstream websites.

You might also have noticed an additional toolbar that is presented on Search.downloadmyinboxhelper.com. It features links to various affiliated websites. They offer weather forecasts, news, and other seemingly useful resources. However, most of these sites are not very valuable – they’re clickbait sites, most of their content is ads. They show lots of ads by Revcontent and the same permissive privacy policies. It’s better to stay away from them.
