What is Your Email Accounts Toolbar?
Your Email Accounts Toolbar is yet another attempt from the notorious Polarity Technologies Ltd. to earn some easy cash by promoting questionable third parties. This new potentially unwanted program (PUP) comes from a growing family already containing dozens of similar and identical tools, such as Search.hmylocaltransit.co, Search.searchwmtn.com, and Search.hlivetvnow.co, to mention a few. This new toolbar is not new at all. In fact, we have seen several identical ones that provide you with easy access to your e-mail accounts. However, you do not need such an unreliable tool to be able to do so as you can always use the bookmarking function of your browsers. Our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com say that this PUP affects your Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers only. If you do not want to be exposed to potentially unreliable third-party ads and corrupt links, which may lead to malicious pages or more infections, we recommend that you remove Your Email Accounts Toolbar from your computer.
Where does Your Email Accounts Toolbar come from?
You can easily install this browser extension if you visit the promotional page at youremailaccounts.com or the Chrome web store page at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/your-eamil-accounts/eikjkhmeningahlmfmiikphcblejkhoe. In the one month of its release, only 70 people thought that it was a good idea to install this tool as per the statistics on the web store page. So it is quite unlikely that you have visited any of these sites and installed this PUP knowingly. So, you may be wondering how on earth this PUP managed to enter your system. Let us tell now why you may need to delete Your Email Accounts Toolbar right away along with other possible threats.
Our malware experts have found that this PUP can be spread in freeware bundles as well. This means that you can let several threats onto your system in one go if you were to install such a bundle without being cautious enough. In fact, this is how unsuspecting users usually infect their computer with browser hijackers, adware applications, fake alerts, keyloggers, backdoors, and so on. You may download such a software package, for example, when you want to download free software from shady torrent or freeware sites. But you can also drop one when you click on unsafe third-party ads while visiting suspicious websites or when exposed to them by malware programs on board. This is also why it is essential that you scan your system with a reliable malware scanner to find all possible threats after you delete Your Email Accounts Toolbar from your browsers.
How does Your Email Accounts Toolbar work?
When you install this PUP, it sets search.hyouremailaccounts.com as your homepage, new tab, and default search engine in your Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers depending on which browser you are using at the time. This may make other malware researchers to label it as a browser hijacker. In any case, this PUP provides you with easy access to e-mail providers, such as Gmail, Yahoo, as well as popular sites like Facebook. As a matter of fact, this tool is rather redundant and useless since you can easily bookmark these pages if you want without causing any possible system security issues for yourself. This search page also provides you with a web search functionality as well as a panel of thumbnail links below it.
We do not recommend the use of this PUP because you could be presented with questionable third-party contents like ads and links. This tool may collect information about you and use it to send tailored ads and links to your screen. Since it can manipulate search results and display modified Yahoo results to you, it is possible that you click on questionable content. Since there is no way to tell the difference between a legitimate one and a malicious one, you could easily infect your computer or end up being scammed. This is why we believe that it would be best to remove Your Email Accounts Toolbar from your PC as soon as possible.
