My Office Tool

Posted: August 12, 2020

The My Office Tool is a browser extension that may attract the attention of office workers looking for a neat way to organize their documents and notes, use various office tools and get ready-to-use document templates. Unfortunately, users who expect the My Office Tool to deliver such content are in for a disappointment – all that My Office Tool's installation does is to replace your Web browser's new tab page and search engine with Hp.hmyofficetools.co. While this website is not harmful, it may deliver low-quality search results, as well as more advertisements than other search engines.

Understandably, neither users nor anti-virus product vendors are fans of software that modifies the settings of Web browsers forcefully. This is why you are likely to be interested in learning that the My Office Tool is considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). You can take care of its removal by running a computer security scanner that will assist you with erasing My Office Tool's components. Usually, removing the PUP is enough to restore the browser's settings to normal.
