Remove EasySportsAccess.com Completely

“EasySportsAccess.com” is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that after being installed on a computer will attach itself to a browser, change the homepage, the new tab page and the search engine. The user may be redirected to websites containing potentially malicious content and falsified searches.

EasySportsAccess.com – How Did I Get It?

The “EasySportsAccess.com” PUP usually gets into your computer through third-party installers. It can sneak into your computer without your consent, by hiding itself in freeware installations and bundled packages. In these packages, additional components for installation are usually not disclosed in a proper way and people get tricked into installing potentially undesirable programs such as “Easy Sports Access”. Sometimes that can be avoided by clicking on the “Advanced” or “Custom” setting in an installation setup to see what may be installed.

Other ways of getting infected are by opening spam emails and downloading e-mail attachments, or by clicking on different advertisements and banners containing potentially malicious content which may also add a browser extension. The domain name is the same: “EasySportsAccess.com”.

EasySportsAccess.com – More About It

“EasySportsAccess.com” is classified as a browser hijacker. When it is installed on your computer, it may change DNS settings, different browser settings, such as the homepage, new tab and search engine, and may also install a browser extension and a toolbar.

All these settings make “Search.EasySportsAccess.com” a default search engine and for you to use that domain whenever you try making a search query. It can affect any browser, especially the most popular ones, like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari.

This is how the hijacker looks like:

This hijacker is developed by “Safer Browser”, a company also responsible for other PUPs, as we at STF have discovered in the past. Also, when searching for something in any browser, the hijacker can display sponsored and incorrect results. You may also be shown advertisements in the form of pop-ups or banners. The sites which you may be redirected to, generate profit on a pay-per-click basis and they could contain potentially malicious code to further infect your PC.

The Terms and Conditions, and the Privacy Policy (EULA) of “EasySportsAccess.com” can be viewed from the site. It is stated there, that the hijacker may potentially collect different information about your internet activity and usage, such as your search queries, the sites you visited, your IP address, browser homepage, what you clicked on, even if it contains personally identifiable information and other similar data. And that cookies can be used to collect that information and provide it to third parties.
