Findtemplatesquick.com is a website that replaces the new tab of those who install the Find Templates Quick browser extension.

Problems with Findtemplatesquick.com

Findtemplatesquick.com (or Find Templates Quick) is a browser extension that offers to help you find various templates. It’s not all that malicious. But it has some problems:

• It replaces your new tab page, even though the extension pop-up should be enough for it.
• When Findtemplatesquick.com replaces your browser’s new tab, it fails to replicate some essential features. As a result, you lose customization options.
• The search box on the new tab page links to Yahoo regardless of your search engine settings.
• According to Findtemplatesquick.com’s privacy policy, the site logs search queries and other usage data. It might share this data with third parties. Therefore, Findtemplatesquick.com is not good for privacy.

Unfortunately, Findtemplatesquick.com can be considered a browser hijacker – a sort of add-on that makes some unwanted changes to web browsers. It’s not dangerous, but it’s likely to be unwanted. Especially when some browser hijackers use misleading ads to get more people to install them.

This isn’t surprising, though. Findtemplatesquick.com’s developer is Ito Media, a company that also made Instant Inbox, Weatheronlinenow.com, Holybibledaily.com, and some other newtab replacers for web browsers. As a digital marketing company, Ito Media seems to make newtab extensions that are more focused on advertising than on their promised features.

For templates, Findtemplatesquick.com links to Templates.office.com (a Microsoft page for those who use the Office products), to content management sites (Squarespace, Wix), and to a few other specialized template websites.

How Find Templates Quick gets installed

There are actually two versions of the Find Templates Quick extension, one called the Beta version. The non-Beta extension has a review that complains that the user had other similar browser add-ons promoted to them. We’ve seen similar behavior from various browser hijackers – once installed, they start pushing other extensions, even those that are redundant.

Findtemplatesquick.com is advertised online as an app that helps users access free downloadable templates. It really was presented as something more than just a few bookmarks on your new tab.

If you remember encountering such an ad, then that’s how likely how Find Templates Quick was installed on your browser.

If you don’t remember that, then it’s possible that Find Templates Quick was installed in another way. Such as by being embedded in another app as an optional offer. It’s how a lot of adware programs spread.

How to remove Findtemplatesquick.com

To remove Findtemplatesquick.com from your new tab/home page, uninstall Find Templates Quick as described below. Then, block notifications from Findtemplatesquick.com and other unwanted sites.

The instructions for manual removal can be found at the bottom of the Findtemplatesquick.com new tab, actually.

At the same time, it’s recommended to check your computer with antivirus programs, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. Especially if you don’t know how Findtemplatesquick.com was installed, as that could mean that there are other unknown and potentially unwanted items on your computer.

Once Findtemplatesquick.com is gone and your new tab is free, remember that you can customize it to fit your needs. You can add links and bookmarks to your favorite pages.
