Search.hquickemaillogin.net Virus - How to remove

Search.hquickemaillogin.net is probably not a website you want as your homepage for a few reasons, as it’s set by a browser hijacker — an unfriendly browser add-on called Quick Email Login. Quite often search.hquickemaillogin.net is installed secretly or pushed by intrusive advertisements, and many of those who installed it wish to get rid of it after they see how disappointing with it.

A search.hquickemaillogin.net installation is recognized when your browser has search.hquickemaillogin.net or query.hquickemaillogin.net set as your home page. Your search is also directed through Yahoo, regardless of which search site you were using before. In fact, unwanted extensions are one of the main causes of the Yahoo redirect virus.

How search.hquickemaillogin.net hijacks browsers

Very few people find and install search.hquickemaillogin.net on their own. Most see it recommended by them through ads or are redirected to the installation page by adware.

The extension Quick Email Login is presented as an easy and simple way to access your e-mail account login page. The promise “Get quick access to emails” is so vague that the people installing Quick Email Login don’t really know what they will end up with. In fact, it’s not always clear that you’re installing an extension at all. The Download button isn’t the only button that begins the installation process, search.hquickemaillogin.net also hides behind what look like links to other sites. This can end up with people installing search.hquickemaillogin.net involuntarily and is exactly the sort of manipulative and predatory behavior that malicious software engages in.

Then, when search.hquickemaillogin.net is set as your home page, you finally see that this was just a toolbar — a form of malware that’s left over from the 2000s. All you get on search.hquickemaillogin.net are a few links to popular email providers (which can easily be done manually, with no unwanted extensions). Why was such a useless extension developed at all? To track your online behavior, to advertise to you, and to force you to use a specific search engine whether you want to or not.

First of all, a lot of antimalware products consider it to be dangerous (VirusTotal.com). The type of malware that search.hquickemaillogin.net is is well known.

Search.hquickemaillogin.net is exactly like hemailaccessonline.com and search.heasyspeedtest.co, as well as a multitude of other hijackers developed by Eightpoint Technologies. The extensions are all very, very similar to each other, though they each present a different front: email login links, internet speed test, recipe links, streaming links, maps…

The goal of these extensions is to be added to a browser and to stay there for as long as possible and monitor everything that it can. search.hquickemaillogin.net is not only able to read your browsing history, but also read all your data on the search.hquickemaillogin.net site. This means that it sees your search queries, too. This is confirmed by the privacy policy of Eightpoint Technologies, an excerpt of which is included in this article. This data is used to tailor advertisements specifically to you, based on your habits, and given to advertisers.

In general, browser hijackers are dangerous because browsers are powerful: we use them for a lot of tasks, including wiring money and talking to friends. When search.hquickemaillogin.net infiltrates the browser, it can see some of what you use it for. It can influence how websites are displayed to you. It can read what you type on certain websites. It’s honestly safest to just uninstall it and be wary of other malicious extensions out there.
