Heasyformsnow.net New Tab - How to remove

What is Heasyformsnow.net

Heasyformsnow.net is a website, as well as a newtab virus. Does it appear on your screen when you open a new tab in your browser (by clicking the plus ‘+’ button at the top of the browser screen or pressing the Ctrl+T (Windows) or Cmd+T (macOS) button combination)? Then the Easy Forms Now extension must have been installed.

Browser extensions are small programs that change how your browser works. Like any software, most browser extensions are useful and benign, but some are dangerous. Easy Forms Now is not very harmful, but it does take advantage of its users.

When Easy Forms Now gets installed, it changes your default new tab page. Usually, people either use the front page of their favorite search engine, or the browser’s default new tab page, like this. But Easy Forms Now changes that to Heasyformsnow.net.

Heasyformsnow.net has a search box and a few quick links, so it looks like a normal new tab page. But it has some problems:

• Heasyformsnow.net lacks some customization features, such as pinning links, changing the background image, or making it use your favorite search engine (Heasyformsnow.net just sends your search queries to Yahoo.com).
• Heasyformsnow.net promotes websites that are full of low-quality clickbait by companies like RevContent. Myemailcentral.com, Nationalweatheragency.org, Mynewswire.co – these sites belong to Eightpoint Technologies, the same company that made Heasyformsnow.net.
• While Heasyformsnow.net is open, it asks you to allow its notifications. These can be used to promote related products.

Even while Easy Forms Now is installed, it might try to offer you other browser extensions, like History Hide or Search Encrypt. They are different from Easy Forms Now because, instead of changing your new tab page, they change your default search engine. It’s still very intrusive and unhelpful. It only helps Eightpoint make more ad money.

How browser hijackers trick users

Heasyformsnow.net is supposed to help you access government forms – helpful for doing taxes and managing documents. It does this by showing a menu with links to Irs.gov, State.gov, Bankrate.com, and similar sites. This must be the least helpful way to do this. Still, Easy Forms Now advertises online as helping you access those tax forms and travel documents.

It’s even possible to install Easy Forms Now by accident:

• It’s advertised online, especially on sites like Hidemyhistory.co, Info.com, Hidemysearches.com, and others. The advertising page promises “quick access to popular forms”, but it isn’t always clear about an extension being installed. Which leads to some people installing it without meaning to.
• It’s also promoted by adware infections and by other browser hijackers.
• Easy Forms Now could have come included in the installers of various free apps and programs as an optional offer.

Some pushy and a bit aggressive marketing tactics are used by Heasyformsnow.net’s creators to spread this adware.

Besides Easy Forms Now, Eightpoint has made a few other browser extensions, including Heasyforms.com (Easy Forms) and Easyformsfinder.com (Federal Forms) that get installed in the same ways. All the same problems apply to them, as well.

How too remove Easy Forms Now

While Easy Forms Now is installed, it’s in control over your new tab page setting, so the only way to remove Heasyformsnow.net from your browser is to get rid of Easy Forms Now. You can do that from browser extension settings (Settings -> Extensions), by right-clicking the Easy Forms Now icon and pressing Remove, or by using an anti-malware program.

The benefit of using anti-malware programs, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others, is that they can warn you about other potentially malicious apps and browser add-ons. Heasyformsnow.net likely wasn’t the only browser hijacker that was installed on your computer. So, carefully examine every browser add-on and program that appeared at around the same time as Easy Forms Now did.

Finally, if you haven’t blocked the pop-up ads from Heasyformsnow.net yet, you can do that in your browser settings. Just open the notifications settings page:

• Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• New Edge – type “edge://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Firefox – open Settings, Preferences, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

Find Heasyformsnow.net, Easyformsnow.net, and maybe other sites that you don’t wish to receive updates from. The button next to each address allows you to block (or deny) notifications from those sites.
