What is Quicktoemail.com?

It replaces the new tab page

Quicktoemail.com is a website that houses a new tab/home page Hp.quicktoemail.com. This page is very familiar to those who have some experience with browser hijackers: it’s a classic Eightpoint/Myway hijacker.

Indeed, Quick To Email is made by Eightpoint Technologies – a company that’s also behind Email Login Guru, Access My Email Tab, and quite a few other extensions, email-themed and not.

If the Quicktoemail.com website appears as your home page, then a browser add-on must have been installed. This add-on replaces your home page and reads your browsing history.

Here’s what you can find on the Quicktoemail.com new tab page:

• A search box that allows you to search the web. The search results are displayed by Yahoo or another site.
• Some links below the search box and at the top of the page. The links lead to various Eightpoint-operated sites that are just absolutely full of shady ads and clickbait.
• Sometimes, there’s also an ad banner in the middle of Quicktoemail.com, right below the search box.

Advertising appears to be Quicktoemail.com’s main job.

How Quicktoemail.com spreads

Quicktoemail.com is advertised online. Web traffic analytics sites estimate that it gets most of its visitors from ads on harmless sites: various online utilities (especially those for working with children), cute sites, browser games, online tests and quizzes, etc. Basically, websites that show lots of ads.

Quicktoemail.com relies on advertising to make money, but it also needs advertising to get more users.

Besides the many ad-filled sites that Quicktoemail.com links to, it also promotes Email Access Here, a browser extension that’s already been removed from the Chrome Web Store. The extension Get Email Access Here does exist and is offered by Quick To Email, so that might be meant to replace the removed extension.

It’s likely that other extensions are installed together with Quicktoemail.com. For instance, add-ons that replace your search engine, like Quick Search Tool or My Searches, are commonly paired with new tab replacers.

Together, these different types of hijackers – new tab replacers and search hijackers – take over web browsers quite effectively.

How to remove Quicktoemail.com

Remove unwanted extensions

Find and remove suspicious extensions from your browser. The names of these extensions might include the word “Email”. It’s advisable to remove all the extensions that you don’t intentionally use.

If you find an add-on installed and you don’t know what it does, consider at least disabling it for now.

You can also use an antivirus app to find unwanted programs and extensions. Scanners such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others can recognize malware and some potentially unwanted programs and warn you about them.

Review your settings

Once all the extensions that were causing problems are removed from your browser or disabled from working, look over the settings that hijackers usually take over. For instance, if Quicktoemail.com had replaced your home page, check your start page and new tab settings. Look at your default search engine settings. You can change them to be how you want them: set whatever search engine you want, customise your new tab page. You can make it much better than Quicktoemail.com was.
