Deceiving domain - search.hfindformseasy.com
Search.hfindformseasy.com is the site that supposedly offers search engine functions and provides improved results with more features than your regular search engine. However, this is the browser hijacker site that causes issues with the speed and performance because it alters preferences and settings of your browsing tools. This page gets set as default search engine, new tab, and homepage on various machines, so the traffic is controlled by the PUP itself that promotes this deceptive domain.
Search.hfindformseasy.com should provide better online search results, but it is barely possible to access anything via this domain because it shows tons of advertisements, pop-ups, triggers redirects, and delivers deals, offers from other pages. This site looks like a search engine, in the first place, but is not the best tool that you should use or rely on. Visiting the sponsored content and interfering with sites that this page shows to you can lead to direct installations of Find Forms Easy or different browser extensions that also affect the time online.
