Access Online Forms

Online forms can be found using a regular search engine. However, some people believe that they should use additional tools like Access Online Forms for that. This extension has been downloaded from the Chrome Web Store over 100,000 times, and it is classified as a productivity app. Clearly, people have need for tools like that. Or they are duped into installing them and then do not know what to do. If you downloaded the suspicious extension from chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/access-online-forms/iliimbpbpliabblllmgebklpjkgeagjp – which is also where you get redirected to from hformshere.net – you might not need to worry about other threats. However, if you downloaded the PUP (potentially unwanted program) using a completely different installer, scanning the system is crucial. Employ a genuine malware scanner immediately to help you figure out what you need to delete. Hopefully, the only tasks on the horizon are removing Access Online Forms and securing your operating system, which is not hard to handle. If that is exactly what you came to us for, let’s waste no time.

Eightpoint Technologies Ltd. is the company that represents the Privacy Policy linked to Access Online Forms, and we assume that this is the creator of the PUP. If that is the case, it is also the creator of Online Radio Finder Tab, My Email Checker Tab, EasyCouponAccess, Weather Forecaster, and numerous other PUPs. They all offer seemingly great services, and they all end up underdelivering. Once you install any of these extensions, they change the Google Chrome browser. Access Online Forms, according to our research team, takes over the default search provider and also the New Tab page. After installation, you should find hp.haccessonlineforms.com set as the New Tab page. The interface of this webpage is identical to the webpages used by all other clones of the PUP. It presents a bunch of third-party links, some of which might fit the theme. Access Online Forms, of course, offers links to findmyforms.com and eforms.com, which, needless to say, you can access without installing PUPs. When you interact with this extension, it records data with the help of data-tracking technologies, and it also shares it with undisclosed third parties. Though it is stated that that is meant to enhance services, that is likely to enhance the profit of the creator only.

The most disturbing thing about Access Online Forms is that it modifies the search provider and also exposes you to the same search tool via the Ne Tab page (via search box). If it presented a trusted and original search tool, we would not care much about it. However, we know that the PUP’s search tool redirects to Yahoo Search, and that is not a good thing. First of all, you should always be wary whenever you are redirected. Second, you have to pay attention to what is shown. Access Online Forms modifies the normal Yahoo Search results to introduce third-party content. The creator of the service is likely to earn money for the promotion that it conducts, but because the advertising parties using the PUP are unknown, it is hard to say whether or not they are trustworthy. It is no secret that advertising is often used to promote unreliable websites, push malware, and even expose people to scams. Therefore, we do not recommend trusting well-known search engines if they are used to show modified results. In fact, this might be the most important reason to remove the PUP.

Some PUPs are more complex than others, and sometimes it is not enough to just uninstall an unwanted app or remove an unwanted extension. Luckily, that is not the case with Access Online Forms. This PUP can be eliminated like a regular extension, and you can learn about that by following the guide below. Of course, deleting Access Online Forms is just one part of the process. You also need to inspect your system for additional threats as well as figure out the best way to secure your system. If you install trusted anti-malware software, it can automatically scan the system and delete threats, and it also can reinforce full-time protection, which is of the utmost importance. Now that you have your options laid out in front of you, what are you going to do? If you want to ask more questions, we are happy to answer them in the comments area.
