Search.hfreeforms.co virus - How to remove

Search.hfreeforms.co is the website that you see every time you open your web browser? That indicates that your computer is infected with this hfreeforms virus which is listed as browser hijacker. You have probably seen one like this before, since there are plenty similar hijackers like this on the Internet, such as Home.musicktab.com or Search.searchytdm.com. They all look very similar due to the logical reason – they were developed by the same company called Polarity Technologies LTD. This company is major distributor of malware nowadays and you should stay away from its’ products.

Search.hfreeforms.co is presented a forms assistant tool – with the help of this website you should be able to fill various legal forms faster and more efficient. The problem is that it’s not working – the only ‘valuable’ information provided by this website is several links to the governmental websites with information about legal forms. This information can be easily found on Google or other reliable search engine, so there is literally no point in keeping on pinned on your web browser for all the time.

So if your computer is infected with Search.hfreeforms.co virus, this website will be automatically set as your homepage and default search engine, as well as new tab website. That means you will see it more than often. If you take a close look at this website, you will notice that there are two main sectors – search box and toolbar of the website. Search box is completely OK so feel free to use it – all your searches will be processed through Yahoo search engine which is reliable. However, the main reason Polarity Technologies developed this tool is to promote other malicious applications. And for that reason they implemented a toolbar. As you can see, it features several links to the legal forms information sources (as we have already mentioned that before) and also link to the ‘News’ website and weather forecast tool. If you click on the news icon, you will be redirected to the news.mynewswire.co website which is also malicious. There are no valuable information and it features a huge ads box which can lead you to unreliable websites. Another tool on that sidebar is called ‘Weatherly’. You are suggested to install it and be aware of the newest weather forecast in your local area. However, we have discovered that this tool is also worthless since the forecast is really not accurate. Moreover, almost all Polarity Technologies products are affiliated with this tool, thus we consider it to be malicious or at least maliciously distributed.

Speaking of distribution, Search.hfreeforms.co virus is distributed with other free software that you can download from the Internet. I.e. when you download some free media player or downloads manager, during the installation you will be offered to install some additional and useful tools for free. If you agree with this, Search.hfreeforms.co virus will be installed on your system and make some unwanted changes without even warning you about that.
