Email Access Here, or Hemailaccesshere.com, is a browser hijacker – a little program that changes your homepage and your search settings to steer you to affiliated sites. Thanks to Hemailaccesshere.com, you will see more ads, have your time wasted, and might visit some predatory and malicious sites.

How Hemailaccesshere.com hijacks a browser

How it gets installed

Hemailaccesshere.com is a web browser extension (an optional add-on for a browser) that makes changes to how your web browser works, such as making Hemailaccesshere.com open in your new browser tabs.

Loginhelper.co is the site that installs Hemailaccesshere.com. It is promoted on various websites, even trusted ones, like it’ll help you log in to your email quickly. People who search online for ways to access their email might find it, though if they do, I expect that their browser had already been hijacked by a malicious extension. If you search a reputable search engine for something like “login [your email provider]”, you will find relevant results. But if your browser is forced to go to a shady site like Hidemysearches, ads for malware like Hemailaccesshere.com appear above search results.

In addition, Email Access Here may come on your computer bundled with a free program you downloaded off of the internet. Some makers of free programs earn money by installing potentially unwanted software alongside their own programs.

Either way, Hemailaccesshere.com doesn’t really get installed honestly or based on its merits. Most likely, you didn’t want to install it or don’t even remember doing it.

When I installed Hemailaccesshere.com, it brought friends – Hide My History and Your Search Tool. These extensions are also bad news, especially Hide My History, which not only changes your search settings, but also gets access to all your activity on every website that you visit, which is so much worse for your privacy than just reading your history.

Advertising

Email Access Here changes both your homepage (to hp.Hemailaccesshere.com) and your default search engine (Yahoo.com).

The real goal of Hemailaccesshere.com is to manipulate your browsing and to advertise to you:

• Your browser is redirected to sites chosen by Hemailaccesshere.com’s creators. Presumably, they have a money-making relationship with those sites.
• You’re exposed to more ads than usual, especially search engine ads and pop-ups.
• The ads you’re exposed to are low-quality and sometimes lead to malicious sites or even more ads.
• Your browsing history is read and used to target ads at you. This is great for advertisers who want to only advertise to relevant demographics. This can be bad for your privacy.

While normal advertising platforms and publishers work hard to create a product that is attractive to users, some advertising businesses try to force their ads on users more directly. That – to make money by pushing ads on you – is why Hemailaccesshere.com exists. There are actually a lot of browser extensions that do nothing but inject ads into your browser and then sell that ad space to advertisers.

Low-quality extension

In its description, Hemailaccesshere.com promises to provide you with useful quick links to popular email platforms and other popular sites. And sure, Email Access Here’s home page has links to Google, Yahoo, Outlook, and Hotmail, as well as a few other sites.

But, while Hemailaccesshere.com is your home page, you can’t customize those links or change the background image. That is to say, Hemailaccesshere.com is objectively worse than most browsers’ default new tab page.

It’s really easy to set up your own new tab page or home page as you like it. Check out these articles:

How to remove Hemailaccesshere.com

Check if there’s malware on your computer. Review the apps and programs that you installed around the time that Hemailaccesshere.com appeared in your browser. Use an anti-malware scanner, like Spyhunter for PC, Combo Cleaner for Mac, or others – they can list suspicious programs for you. Remove malicious programs.

Disable every single browser extension that you have installed. Then, enable them one-by-one. When you see some unwanted behavior, you know that the extension that you just enabled is responsible. Remove it.
