How to remove Hmyonlinecoupons.com

Remove search hijackers

Check the browser extensions that are installed. If My Online Coupons is there, remove it. If Hide My History and Quick Search Tool are there, remove them, too. I put the instructions for removing extensions at the bottom of this page.

These browser extensions were made by the same company and their goal is to show ads to people by controlling their web search results (Hmyonlinecoupons.com uses Yahoo) and promoting links to affiliated websites. If removing the three that I listed doesn’t fix all of your search and start page issues, then disable all the rest of your extensions, at least for now.

It’s helpful to scan your computer with anti-malware programs, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, or others. They can recognize suspicious browser add-ons, programs, and other files.

Stop notifications

Hmyonlinecoupons.com and the sites related to it ask you to accept web push notifications all the time. Notification ads from Hmyonlinecoupons.com appear as little pop-ups in the corner of the screen.

• Here’s how to find your notification settings:
  • Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
  • Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
  • Edge (Chromium) – 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.
• Scroll until you see a list of sites that are allowed to send notifications.
• Next to each unwanted address, press the button that opens a menu and click “Block”.

 

Ads and redirects by Hmyonlinecoupons.com

Here are a few things that Hmyonlinecoupons.com does to abuse its users:

• Gets installed dishonestly, users don’t know that it’s there.
• Other search hijackers may be installed at the same time.
• Hmyonlinecoupons.com replaces the start page and the new page. It hides pinned links and prevents the user from customizing those pages.
• The search box in the middle of Hmyonlinecoupons.com leads to Yahoo. It ignores the browser’s search engine settings. Yahoo through Hmyonlinecoupons.com shows more ads for the same query than regular Yahoo does.
• Two links on the new tab go to Couponsventure.com, which is a bad clickbait site. Also, one of the coupon links doesn’t work.
• Multiple links on Hmyonlinecoupons.com lead to clickbait sites.
• Data about the user is logged and potentially shared with advertisers.

There’s nothing good about Hmyonlinecoupons.com. This is a hijacker, adware, and overall a malicious page and browser extension. It provides no value. All it does is trick people into installing it and then spam their browsers with ads.

How My Online Coupons gets installed

Accidental installation

If Hmyonlinecoupons.com appears in your browser as your start page and a new tab page, then you might have installed My Online Coupons. You probably did that accidentally. The same applies to many browser hijackers, such as Online Map Search, Login Center Tab, Play Game Now, Action Classic Games, and others.

There are websites that advertise those browser hijackers. Mostly, it’s file download sites (including modding sites, pirating sites, free streaming sites, etc.) and alternative search engines.

Fake download links

On regular websites, the ads for browser hijackers look like big green buttons that say “Start Here”, “Start Now”, “Start”, “Get it here”, and “Continue” – basically, fake download buttons. Children looking to download games and people looking for free programs are being bombarded with these ads all the time. Mistaking them for real download buttons can lead to unintentional installations of browser hijackers like Hmyonlinecoupons.com.

But maybe you found Hmyonlinecoupons.com in the ads of a search engine, such as Faqtoids.com or Index.about.com. These ads target various unrelated keywords and outright say “Download Now”, “Install latest version”, and even incorporate the keyword. These ads are made to look like real results. This is another way that Hmyonlinecoupons.com can be installed mistakenly.

Myonlinecoupons.com is the site that leads to My Online Coupon’s installation. It has a lot of small boring text and a big bright “Continue” button. It may as well be a fake download button in webpage form.

Bundling

Finally, Hmyonlinecoupons.com could have been offered through another browser hijacker (they use notification pop-ups to promote related adware) or through an infected free program that was recently installed.
