What is Search.hemailloginnow.com?
Search.hemailloginnow.com is a hijacker that can take over your Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer browser, most likely, when you install “Email Login Now.” This is a browser extension that is officially represented via emailloginnow.com/Email?, as well as the Chrome web store at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/email-login-now-v11/mjkcdpcenfkkhlcbfeddiannpeenpilh (only for Chrome users, of course). If you install this add-on from either of these sources, it should be clear that it comes bundled with the hijacker. Unfortunately, there is no option to reject the hijacker, and so some users might be pushed into accepting it without even meaning to. Overall, the extension could be spread via unreliable installers, and users could acquire the hijacker unknowingly. Also, there is always a possibility that it will be spread on its own. Regardless of the situation, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team strongly recommends removing Search.hemailloginnow.com right away. Hopefully, you can get rid of his hijacker by deleting “Email Login Now.”
How does Search.hemailloginnow.com work?
Did you know that Search.hemailloginnow.com has a clone? This clone is the Search.searchlen.com hijacker. Although it is represented along with an add-on called “Login Email Now” (the name is slightly different), it is completely identical to the hijacker we are discussing in this report. In fact, this threat might have many other clones because it was created by Polarity Technologies Ltd., and this group is well-known because of its ability to create hundreds of identical or similar-looking hijackers. All of them are equally as unreliable. First of all, they all are represented using the same Privacy Policy that informs that personal information can be recorded. Do you feel safe knowing this? You should not, and that is a very important reason to delete Search.hemailloginnow.com. If you do not feel safe, trusting a certain program is silly. Another reason not to trust the hijacker is its ability to redirect you to Yahoo Search without your permission. If this hijacker can redirect you to this engine, you have to think about the risk of being redirected to more unreliable sites as well.
What about the search results shown via Yahoo Search that Search.hemailloginnow.com redirects you to? If you think that these results are trustworthy, you are very wrong. Although some of the links could be authentic and harmless, many of them are likely to represent the links of third parties that Polarity Technologies Ltd. is partnered up with. Therefore, although this hijacker provides you with access to Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, Hotmail, and a few other well-known sites, you have to look at it as a potential threat. Speaking of threats, are you sure that Search.hemailloginnow.com is the only one? The chances are that this hijacker was bundled with third-party software, not including the extension it is generally linked to. Are you aware of other infections? If you are not, scan your operating system right away, and use a legitimate malware scanner for reliable results. Are malicious threats found? If they are more serious than the hijacker, and if you are sure you want to erase them manually, we suggest taking care of them first because you do not want to give them any time at all.
