Haccessonlineforms.com Hijacker - How to remove

Haccessonlineforms.com is a site that may have taken over the new tab page in your browser. You might have installed it by accident, but Haccessonlineforms.com is supposed to help people find forms and templates. It does do that a little, but its main purpose seems to be forcing people to use the Yahoo search engine. As a result, Haccessonlineforms.com can be considered a browser hijacker and it’s recommended to be removed.

How Haccessonlineforms.com works

Haccessonlineforms.com is the home page set by the Access Online Forms browser add-on. Likely, it’s the page that you see on your screen when you open your internet browser.

It’s kept there by the Access Online Forms add-on. It’s supposed to help you access useful forms, but its main purpose seems to be hijacking search and making sure that its users are only searching on Yahoo.com.

No surprise, Haccessonlineforms.com was released by Eightpoint technologies. This company makes lots of browser hijackers, like Hwatchsportshere.com, Hloginassistant.co, and many others.

How Access Online Forms gets installed

Advertised online

Haccessonlineforms.com is just a website. If it shows up on your screen, it must have come with the Access Online Forms add-on.

Access Online Forms can be found advertised online. Its ads appear in the search results of alternative search engines, like Cbsearch.site or Allsearchsite.com. They might have the text “Download now” or “Install now”.

Ads for Access Online Forms may also show up on websites that let you download files. These ads are likely to look like green buttons with the words “Start” or “Continue” on them.

You might also discover Haccessonlineforms.com as you’re searching for forms on free form sites. Maybe, in order to view or download a form, you were asked to install Access Online Forms?

Offers other extensions

Here’s how the installation process went for me:

1. Land on Myformsguru.com, click the Continue button.
2. Have the Chrome Web Store open, add the Access Online Forms add-on.
3. Be taken to Quicksearchtool.com, click the Continue button.
4. Land on the Chrome Web Store again, add Quick Search Tool.
5. Land on Haccessonlineforms.com, the new home tab.

I followed all of the instructions given to me by these sites – I wanted to see what would happen. I imagine that people who haven’t dealt with extensions might have felt pressured to do that. Haccessonlineforms.com is a little pushy. And the way it offers another extension looks like the continuation of the installation of the first one. It’s so manipulative.

By the way, Haccessonlineforms.com replaces your new tab page (which we often use to start searching the web) and Quicksearchtool.com replaces the address bar (which we also use to search the internet). They complement each other to thoroughly hijack the browser’s search.

How Haccessonlineforms.com affects web browsers

Forms and other features

Haccessonlineforms.com has links to a bunch of websites, including Kohls, Lifelock, and clickbait sites like Emailhelper.org and Mynewswire.co. Be careful of them. The clickbait ads on those sites include get-rich-quick schemes, shady miracle cures, and other potentially scammy ads.

There’s an ad right under the search bar in the middle of the page. There’s a little weather display in the corner.

Haccessonlineforms.com does have links to form sites, like Findmyforms.com and Rocketlawyer.com, the latter requiring you to create an account to use it.

Haccessonlineforms.com offers nothing that you can’t do without it. For example, you could use bookmarks to be able to quickly access favorite sites.

Search hijacking

Both Haccessonlineforms.com and Quicksearchtool.com take your search queries and send them to Yahoo. Not directly, but through an affiliate link or something like it.

Both they and Yahoo get to look at your search terms, which is not good for privacy. Also, this restricts your search engine choices. Remove features from the browser, basically. On top of the lackluster form-finding functionality, this is not good for the user.
