search.hmyemailcenter.co - How to remove

My Email Center, or search.hmyemailcenter.co, is a dishonest browser add-on that pretends to be a useful and practical application, but ends up hijacking your browser to shove ads and promoted content in front of you and to use your browsing history for behavioral advertising. While not the most dangerous virus out there, it would still be safest to uninstall it as soon as possible.

Search.hmyemailcenter.co might have a professional-looking website and page on the Web store which describes the extension as providing popular email quick links to various email service providers. In fact, search.hmyemailcenter.co is a simple toolbar — a minimum-effort product meant to spy on you and force you to use a particular search engine. It’s not any better than all the other hijackers, like BestMapFinder or Search.hsatelliteearth.com.

Privacy

The browser is simply the program used for browsing the internet. It displays all the content it downloads, and it uploads the information that you send online. It is the link between you and your online bank page, between you and your online shopping. Having your browser hijacked could be very dangerous. Search.hmyemailcenter.co, for example, can:

• Read and change all your data on all hmyemailcenter.co sites and search.hmyemailcenter.co
• Replace the page you see when opening a new tab
• Read your browsing history
• Manage your apps, extensions, and themes

This is not too bad — unlike some other hijackers, search.hmyemailcenter.co can’t read all your data on the websites you visit. Not only can search.hmyemailcenter.co read your browsing history, but also your search queries that you type in when using search.hmyemailcenter.co. This is all for the sake of advertisers. Search.hmyemailcenter.co is sometimes classified as adware because it forces users to visit a website that’s filled with ads. The ads are rarely malicious, unlike in serious adware sites, but they are still a nuisance.

When using search.hmyemailcenter.cods, and in the search result page sometimes are so plentiful that they take up most of the front page of the results, delaying you and hurting your productivity. Even benign ads can really get in the way. And Yahoo is known for poorly distinguishing promoted content from real results, so you’re likely to click on a lot of ads accidentally, wasting your time.

How browser hijackers get installed

Adware viruses often promote browser hijackers. It’s common for adware to promote other adware, and if your browser or your desktop suffers form adware, search.hmyemailcenter.co can appear in a pop-up window or its page be opened in your browser. Examples of adware are AppMaster and Lodder.club.

Malicious ads can also promote search.hmyemailcenter.co. This is a bit redundant to the previous paragraph — adware show a lot of malicious ads. But so do shady websites that don’t care about endangering their visitors. Actually, not even reputable sites and ad-networks are completely safe. Malvertising is a problem and spammers constantly find new ways of getting around the review process of ad-networks.

Search.hmyemailcenter.co might also arrive on your computer by being included in freeware bundles. In this case, software bundles are installers that combine one program — the one you expect to install — with some additional products. Some free software distributing websites make money by bundling free programs with third-party offers that pay to be promoted this way. If you installed one program, and then found that search.hmyemailcenter.co or some other PUP simply appeared on your computer, likely you have been a victim of some unethical bundling. Generally, it’s safer to install software from the source page. That’s a bit different for installing apps and extensions, though: those should be installed from the official store, where they’ve been reviewed and have no opportunity to use bundling to promote other apps.
