Your Emails Now takes over the browser

What is an extension?

Your Emails Now is made by Eightpoint Technologies/Polarity – the same company responsible for Email Acess Online, Email Easy Access, Email Anytime, and a bunch of other new tabs hijackers. Your Emails Now is detected as mildly malicious by quite a few reliable antivirus programs (VirusTotal link), as are many other products by the same company.

Your Emails Now works as a web browser extension. A web browser is a program used for accessing the internet (for example, Chrome and Internet Explorer are web browsers). An extension, plugin, or add-on are little documents, programs, or scripts that modify how the browser works. They’re very unnecessary but they can do very helpful things. Some extensions are made by individuals as personal or passion projects and they might be crowdfunded. Others are commercial products and are supported by advertising. Your Emails Now is the latter.

Search hijacker

Your browser has a default new tab page, which is the page shown every time a new browser tab is opened. Many people use the default browser new tab page, where links to your most frequented sites are saved. Others use their default search engine, such as Google.com.

Your Emails Now add-on changes your default new tab page to the website Youremailsnowtab.com. On it, a convenient search bar is placed, which uses the search engine made by the creators of Youremailsnowtab.com. Search engines usually show ads in search results, so Your Emails Now is making money if users use it. That’s why this hijacker was made. Not to help you get popular email links quickly.

Whenever you search the web using Youremailsnowtab.com, your search query goes through it. It decides how and what search results will be returned to you (in Yahoo.com). It’s not even secure – it doesn’t use encryption, which is important for privacy. Either way, Your Emails Now can see your search terms, which is information valuable to advertisers. Youremailsnowtab.com can collect a lot of data about you – your location, your device information, and of course, your web browsing history.

Your Emails Now probably got installed with some other extensions, like Hide My Searches, which replaces your default search engine, and Search Manager.

How the hijacker is distributed

Distribution

Your Emails Now is likely included in the installers of some free programs as an optional offer. For example, a free media player could offer you a bunch of additional software during its installation – that’s called bundling. Bundling can be implemented well, but often, it’s not: the optional offers are hidden in advanced options, approved by default, and you may end up installing Your Emails Now or another unwanted program by accident. It’s what the makers of those programs want.

Your Emails Now is also advertised online. Youremailsnowtab.com isn’t exactly an exciting or good product, so the users have to be tricked to install them. Some sites online will show you pop-ups saying that you must install this or that extension in order to do something unrelated, like download a file or watch a video. Don’t believe such claims. Some people fall for them and get upset when they realize that the ads were lying to them.

Installation

Your Emails Now seems to be installed together with Hide My Searches and Search Manager. Or, maybe people install Search Manager after they realize that their browser was hijacked and they attempt to fix it. Unfortunately, Search Manager is also considered a bit of a hijacker by cybersecurity vendors.

After the hijacking, Hide My Searches may stop you from using rival search engines and constantly open its own site instead. Meanwhile, Youremailsnowtab.com opens in your browser regardless of which site you’ve set as your homepage. These problems can be solved by removing these browser extensions and the software that installed them, if any did.

How to remove Youremailsnowtab.com

If your browser is behaving strangely, uninstall all unknown browser extensions. If some problems continue, temporarily disable all extensions and then enable them one-by-one until you pinpoint the problematic one.

Scan your computer with an anti-malware program to find out if there’s malware on your computer. Any competent program will do, we recommend SpyHunter for PC or Combo Cleaner for Mac. Then if you find malicious or suspicious programs, it’s best to get rid of them.
