Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com is a browser hijacker

Browser extensions are little programs that get installed on the web browser to change its functions and add to them. Some of the best extensions are ad-blockers, password managers, color scheme changers, and many others.

Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com (or Hmyclassifiedshomepage2.com) is a new tab page that appears when a browser extension replaces your default new tab (and possibly your homepage). Newtab viruses do that because the default new tab is very important to a lot of people: it serves as the lobby in your browser, it likely hosts your web search, as well as the links to your favorite and most-visited websites. You can open the default new tab by pressing the plus ‘+’ button at the top of your browser or by pressing the buttons Ctrl and T on Windows or Cmd and T on macOS computers.

Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com is presented as helping you access classifieds online. It does, somewhat, but it also behaves like adware, so it ends up being more harmful than helpful.

• Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com replaces the new tab page unnecessarily. It doesn’t need to do this, but replacing the new tab page is a good excuse for replacing your searches.
• Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com links to Search.yahoo.com, ignoring your search engine preferences. If it didn’t hijack your new tab page, it wouldn’t be able to do this.
• Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com also promotes a few clickbait sites – one that has to do with weather, one that’s about email, and one that’s supposed to be a news site. All of them are filled to the brim with clickbait ads.
• As for classifieds, Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com has links to legitimate sites Craigslist, ClassifiedAds, SuperAds, and Ebay. It also provides a way to search for classifieds right on the new tab and then opens the results in a new tab.

A better way to get quick access to classifieds is to save links to relevant sites in your bookmarks, to favorite them, and to pin them to your default new tab – after removing all the hijackers.

How hijackers get installed

The ease with which it’s possible to install browser extensions makes it possible for deceptive advertisements to trick people to install malware themselves. Misleading ads use various psychological tricks, like telling people that they must install the extension to continue browsing or that they need the extension to see the classifieds search results.

Newtab hijackers also spread with bundlers that install them without warning the user properly.

Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com and related new tab hijackers, like Hmyflightfinder.net and Onlinenewsnowtab.com, might use notification pop-ups to promote each other. Other browser hijackers, like Searchencrypt.com, might instead use search engine ads to promote browser hijackers (or promote sites that advertise browser hijackers).

Overall, it is simple to accidentally let Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com hijack your browser. The good news is that it is also simple to remove it.

How to remove the Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com hijacker

Some people would advise you to just use an ad-blocker. While that might help, it would not address the root of the problem: the adware infection that hijacked your browser.

Browser extensions that are responsible for opening Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com in your new tab page need to be removed if you want to get back control of your new tab page. They might be called My Classifieds Homepage, Classifieds List, and similar names. Their permissions include being able to replace the page you see when opening your new tab.

Find the extensions by checking their icons should be in the top right corner of your browser or open the menu, settings, and extensions.

You can check your whole computer by scanning it with an anti-malware application, like Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others.

Check your notifications settings:

• 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.

Your browser lists two sets of URLs: those that you have blocked from showing notifications on your screen, and those that you’ve allowed. If Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com is among the latter, click the button next to it and select the Block or Deny option. This blocks notifications from the site to your web browser and stops the pop-up ads sent by the site. It does not block Hmyclassifiedshomepage.com itself, though.
