This is what makes removal of Search.heasycouponsaccesspop.com complicated – even if you disable the extension itself, it might be restored later on due to the files that are stored on a computer.

If you have recently discovered that this infection is operating on your computer and have no idea how to deal with it, you are in the right place – we will provide you with removal instructions as well as basic information about the virus in this article.

Misleading description

To begin with, we would like to mention that Search.heasycouponsaccesspop.com is promoted in a misleading way – it is described as a tool that will allow you to save time and money online with various coupons and discount codes for online shopping.

In reality, this add-on will only provide you with links to coupons websites that you could access anyways, so there is no added value. Besides that, some of the links to coupons featured on this website lead to malicious websites.

Take a look at the toolbar at Search.heasycouponsaccesspop.com. “Printable Coupons” icon will lead you to Coupon Simplified website. Not a big surprise – this malware was also produced by Polarity.

So instead of valuable coupons and discounts that should save your money, you will receive unwanted add-on that will modify your personal settings without even asking your permission to do that.

After infiltration, Easy Coupons Access extension will set your new tab page to www.search.heasycouponsaccesspop.com so you will visit this website every time you open a new tab.

At a first look this website seems to be OK – nice clean design and valuable functions. Unfortunately, it’s just a nice image created to hide malicious activities. We have already mentioned that links featured on the toolbar can lead you to dangerous websites. Also, search featured on this website will track all your search queries, so if some of your private information slips in there it can be leaked to third parties – that is a threat to your personal security.

Lastly, deceptive methods of this tool is also worth a mention. It comes as a bundle to other free software that can be downloaded from the Internet. Obviously, this method is not fair and users get this extension without being aware of what’s going to happen. It’s usual for malware to be distributed like this, so not only this browser hijacker, but also other viruses can come this way.

Removing Search.heasycouponsaccesspop.com is not that complicated, yet you might need some additional security tools to be able to do that successfully. Firstly, you should eliminate it from your web browsers’ extension list. This process is the same for all web browsers – navigate to the extensions list, detect Easy Coupons Access extension and remove or disable it.

Then, to assure that it won’t be restored, you will have to detect and remove all files from your computer that are associated with this infection. To do that, we suggest to get yourself Spyhunter and scan a computer with it. Either one of those tools should successfully detect and eliminate malicious files instantly.

Also, we highly recommend to keep one of those programs installed. It features real time protection, so similar malware won’t be able to enter your system in the future.
