How to uninstall Easy Login (loginonlineapp.com) browser hijacker

What kind of extension is Easy Login?

Easy Login is a browser extension for Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. Our team inspected it after noticing that it is promoted through the loginonlineapp.com website. Based on our findings, Easy Login behaves as a browser hijacker.

Although its Chrome Web Store page describes Easy Login as a tool that helps users reach "verified" login pages faster, our inspection showed that once added, it changes the browser's default search engine, homepage, and new tab page to loginonlineapp.com. We recommend removing this extension and avoiding loginonlineapp.com.

Easy Login (loginonlineapp.com) browser hijacker overview

Once installed, Easy Login changes the browser's homepage, new tab page, and default search engine to loginonlineapp.com. This is known as browser hijacking, and its purpose is to make sure the browser opens this page whenever a new tab is opened or a search is made from the address bar.

Loginonlineapp.com itself cannot generate search results. Instead, it redirects users to search.yahoo.com, a legitimate search engine. However, depending on a user's geolocation and other factors, the redirect can land somewhere else entirely.

Easy Login's promotional materials describe it as a security feature that checks login pages against a list of known malicious websites, claiming it can take users straight to "verified" sign-in pages for sites like Netflix or Gmail. In practice, our inspection found that its main effect on the browser is the search engine and homepage hijack described above.

Browser hijackers often rely on persistence-ensuring mechanisms, such as restricting access to removal-related settings or undoing user-made changes, to prevent users from recovering their browsers. We recommend checking these settings carefully during removal.

Software within this classification usually has data-tracking abilities, and Easy Login may be no exception. Since the extension is centered around login-related searches, the information it gathers could include search queries (potentially revealing which online services a person uses), visited URLs, cookies, IP addresses, and other browsing data.

This data can be sold to third parties or otherwise misused. To summarize, browser-hijacking software like Easy Login is associated with privacy issues, unwanted redirects, and in some cases, exposure to scams or other online threats.

Browser hijacker examples

We have examined numerous browser hijackers; My Focal Find, Nautilus Notes, PerfecTab, and Search Toggler are merely a few of our newest articles.

Browser-hijacking software typically appears legitimate and offers various features. However, these functions seldom work as advertised, and in most cases they are completely nonoperational.

How did Easy Login install on my computer?

Easy Login can be downloaded directly from the Chrome Web Store, where it is presented as a free security tool. However, browser hijackers like this one are also commonly distributed through deceptive advertisements and bundled with other software.

The bundling marketing method, which involves packing regular program installers with unwanted additions, is used to distribute many browser hijackers. Pre-packed installers can be downloaded from freeware sites, free file-hosting pages, Peer-to-Peer networks, and other dubious channels.

Additionally, browser hijackers can have "official" promotional webpages, like the one used to promote Easy Login, and they are endorsed on scam sites. They are also accessed via redirects caused by rogue advertising networks, intrusive ads, and spam browser notifications.

How to avoid installation of browser hijackers?

We strongly advise researching software and downloading it only from official, verified sources. When installing extensions, even from the Chrome Web Store, check what permissions are being requested and what settings will be changed before clicking "Add extension".

Be vigilant while browsing, since fraudulent and malicious online content typically appears legitimate and harmless. Intrusive ads may look ordinary, however clicking them can redirect users to highly questionable websites.

In case of continuous encounters with such adverts or redirects, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions. If your computer is already affected by Easy Login, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
