Search.hyourweatherinfonow.com virus - How to remove

Search.hyourweatherinfonow.com is just a website that will appear on your new tab if your web browser is infected with an add-on developed by Polarity Technologies LTD. Actually, it is not a surprise anymore that malicious add-on categorised as browser hijacker comes from polarity – in recent months this company has produced a number of those viruses, such as Myphotoeditor.co or search.searchcll.com virus.

We have examined this website with various online tools to check its’ traffic and referrals, but not much of information is available yet – that indicated that this infection is relatively. That also means that not a lot of users are infected at the moment, but it surely will be distributed more aggressively in the near future so we feel like our readers should be informed about it.

If your Google Chrome web browser is already infected, you will find the answer how to remove this virus in this article. We will also provide you with all needed information on how to protect your computer from various malware infections.

Why Search.hyourweatherinfonow.com virus should not be installed on your computer?

First of all, we have already told you that this browser add-on is categorised as browser hijacker, thus it is obvious that you don’t need to keep it installed. However, if you want to dig deeper and lear why this particular virus is listed as browser hijacker, we will explain you more detailed.

Search.hyourweatherinfonow.com only supports Google Chrome web browser, so it can only hijack this and no other Internet browser. By saying “hijack” we mean that it will automatically make changes on your web browser, without even bothering to notice you about that.

Typically browser hijackers take over the homepage on the hijacked web browser, but all hijackers from Polarity family shares the same similarity – they only hijack new tab page. So from the moment you add this extension to your Internet browser, www.search.hyourweatherinfonow.com will appear every time you open a new tab on your computer.

That might look like not a big deal – random website on your new tab, so what? In reality, it is very annoying and you will experience that after couple of days of using such feature.

This particular add-on is supposed to instantly provide you with local weather forecast and make your web browsing more convenient this way. Sadly, there is no convenience in this tool and you can check it yourself. The only weather forecast you gonna get is a link to nationalweatheragency.org website and we discovered that forecast presented in this page is not accurate at all. By the way, you can just visit your favourite weather forecast website directly, without installing any additional tools, right?

Besides that, Search.hyourweatherinfonow.com use this website for other purposes that you are not going to like. First of all, it will push various advertisements or even redirect you to other websites while you are browsing the Internet, so you will be wasting your time this way. Secondly, it will track your searches and might sell collected information to various third parties that will use it for marketing purposes. What does that mean? Simply said, various advertisers will be able to target you better and as a result you will receive more unwanted ads.

Last but not least, browser hijackers like this tend to infiltrate other malware, so you will be constantly getting offers to add even more extensions to your web browsers, which is not really pleasant as well.
