How Search.hloginnow.net Can Cause Damage To Your System

We have already mentioned that Search.hloginnow.net might look like harmless or even useful free tool. However, you will soon discover that it is annoying and not useful at all. It works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers – Microsoft Edge, Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

So when that is done, you will be using Search.hloginnow.net website on a daily basis since it is set as your new tab page. Originally, this website should provide you with a quick login service for free. I.e. it should allow you to login to all of your most important accounts at once. Unfortunately, Search.hloginnow.net fails to deliver what’s promised and you won’t get this feature. You will get a separate toolbar with links to various well known and popular websites and that’s it, so this extension is completely useless.

Also, you will notice that there is a search field on that website and developers of Search.hloginnow.net want you to use it. Speaking of developers, this tool was made by Polarity Technologies LTD – a company well known for various browser hijackers they have developed and released in the past. Even though they want you to use that search engine, we highly recommend not to do that if you don’t want to get into even more trouble.

If you do use web search provided by Search.hloginnow.net, all your search queries will be collected, as well as other personal information of yours. It can be very dangerous because Polarity might sell this information to other parties. Also, using this search engine is very inefficient. You will get a lot of sponsored results that are not even related to your search queries.

There are also other symptoms you are likely to experience if your computer is infected with Search.hloginnow.net:

• Your computer might run slower due to additional processes and generated junk files;
• you might experience various excessive advertisements;
• other malicious tools might be infiltrated into your computer behind your back.
