Search.emailaccountlogin.co Removal Guide

Do you know what Search.emailaccountlogin.co is?

Search.emailaccountlogin.co appears to be a browser hijacker that travels with an extension called either Email Account or Email Account Login. It looks like the title may differ depending on the user’s browser. At the moment of writing the software is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Because of the add-on’s description, it may sound more useful than it is, so it might work a bit differently from what users could imagine. We have tested the application ourselves, and if you wish to know why we doubt its reliability or do not believe it could prove to be beneficial, you should take a look at the rest of the article. Below the text, we will provide a solution to delete the browser hijacker and the suspicious extension it comes with at the same time; thus, if you are looking for a removal guide slide a bit below the main text.

To begin with, users should know Search.emailaccountlogin.co was developed by an unreliable company called Polarity Technologies Ltd. It has already released a lot of other similar threats such as Search.searchlttrn.com, Search.yourpackagesnow.com, and many other. Our specialists noticed that most of these unreliable search engines are distributed with suspicious browser plugins or are bundled with other untrustworthy software, for example, adware, potentially unwanted applications, etc. In this case, the threat was noticed with a browser extension (Email Account/Email Account Login) we mentioned at the beginning of the report. Since the same questionable company released this add-on (Polarity Technologies Ltd) referred to in the browser hijacker’s Privacy Policy documents, we do not think the add-on could be considered reliable.

It looks like the plugin Search.emailaccountlogin.co is distributed with has an official web page available on emailaccountlogin.co. The short description provided on the website says that by installing the add-on, you can “Start accessing all your email accounts faster than before.” The question is how the extension could fulfill this promise? After all accessing email is already a rather quick process; all the user has to do is load the email’s login website and insert his login and password. If you allow the browser to memorize this information you can even log in without typing the password every time. Apparently by saying the user can access his email accounts faster the application’s creators probably meant he would be able to load the email’s login website faster since the software adds multiple icons leading to Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and other popular email’s login sites. Therefore, in case you already have bookmarked such sites, you might see no benefit from installing its plugin.Search.emailaccountlogin.co Removal GuideSearch.emailaccountlogin.co screenshot

Furthermore, if you place the add-on on the browser it could change your browser preferences by pacing Search.emailaccountlogin.co instead of your homepage, default search provider, or new tab page. However, the worst part is that it is quite possible the search engine might be displaying modified search results. To be more precise, it means Search.emailaccountlogin.co could show suspicious advertisements together with the results. The main problem is not the fact such content may annoy the user or disturb his browsing, but the possibility it might be malicious. In which case, interaction with it could endanger the system or put your privacy at risk.

Given the extension does not appear to be useful and the search engine it provides is unreliable and a browser hijacker, we believe it would be safest to get rid of the software. Fortunately, it is quite easy to do so if you are willing to reset the hijacked browser. The other way to deal with the threat is to employ a reputable antimalware tool. It would detect Search.emailaccountlogin.co during the scan, and you could eliminate it together with other possible threats located on the system by simply clicking the deletion button.
