Easyformsfinder.com - How to remove

Federal Forms is a browser extension by Ito Media and you can install it on Easyformsfinder.com. Once installed, Federal Forms changes your new tab page, hijacks your internet searches, starts reading your search queries, and shows you pop-up ads. It’s advertised by adware viruses and browser hijackers, so it’s possible to install it without meaning to.  And when it comes to helping you get federal forms, Easyformsfinder.com redirects you to another website – one that doesn’t even need Federal Forms to be installed.

Easyformsfinder.com hijacking symptoms

On the new tab page that Easyformsfinder.com sets in your browser, there’s a link to a site that has a whole library of government forms. The thing is, you can go to that website without installing the Federal Forms extension. Most of the functions of the extension seem to only serve advertising.

Federal Forms makes a few changes to your browser:

• changes your new tab page and your homepage,
• reads your browsing history,
• logs your search queries,
• shows pop-up ads.

Easyformsfinder.com’s pop-ups are especially annoying. They can’t be stopped by an ad-blocker and they show up despite your browser’s settings not allowing pop-ups. They’re one of the ways that Easyformsfinder.com makes money, so it makes sense why they exist, but they are quite intrusive.

The pop-up ads that Easyformsfinder.com can be tailored to you by your location and other personal data. You can find what kind of information Easyformsfinder.com collects about you (your IP, language, operating system, and so on) by reading its privacy policy. It’s always advised to read the privacy policy of any browser extension that you’re about to install. Just skim the section about what kind of information is collected, how it’s used – and decide if you’re comfortable with that.

Easyformsfinder.com is made by Ito Media, the same company that made Coupon Club App and Instant Inbox. Like Federal Forms, they also read your browsing history and change your new tab page. That’s just how a lot of browser hijackers work. They collect user data and they advertise.

How Easyformsfinder.com gets installed

Encryptedsearch.org, Nation.com, Hidemysearches.com, Info.com, and similar sites sometimes show ads for Easyformsfinder.com when you search for anything to do with government forms. But the only way for those sites to appear in your browser is for you to already have a browser hijacker on your computer. So, having adware in your browser is one way to discover Easyformsfinder.com.

Another way to get Easyformsfinder.com is to download a free program that bundles Federal Forms. Developers of free programs can get money by bundling optional software with their programs. This optional software usually gets installed automatically unless you go through the setup and uncheck every checkbox that offers to install various additional programs. It’s unfortunate that the bundled software is often adware.

It’s very common for browser hijackers to sneak into computers without the user realizing it. Then, when their browser starts behaving strangely, the user is baffled. Browser issues are often caused by malicious browser extensions. Luckily, they’re easy to get rid of.

If removing Federal Forms doesn’t restore your web browser to normal, check your other extensions. You can review them manually or scan your computer with Combo Cleaner for Mac, Spyhunter for PC, or another anti-malware program. If you find a suspicious one, disable it temporarily and see if your browser gets fixed.
