EmailCheckNow

EmailCheckNow is a browser extension that is being advertised online as a useful utility when it comes to checking your email from your Web browser and receiving instant updates for incoming messages. While an email management utility may sound handy, we assure you that EmailCheckNow is not a good choice – this add-on is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and its installer is known to bring undesired changes to the configuration of popular Web browsers.

If you have installed EmailCheckNow, then you probably have already noticed some of the changes that this software brings. It replaces your default new tab page with Emailchecknow.com, and it also may redirect all your Web searches to a 3rd-party search engine. While these changes are not harmful, they may hinder your Web browsing and searching experience by forcing you to use low-quality websites.

If EmailCheckNow has manipulated your browser's settings, you can revert these changes by removing the PUP from your computer. The recommended choice to do this is to run a popular computer security scanner.
