Obtenez Email

Posted: October 3, 2018

The Obtenez Email is a Chrome add-on, which appears to target French users since both the website and the official page on the Chrome Store are available only in French. The purpose of the add-on appears to be to provide its users with a convenient tool to check their email inbox for new messages. This sounds helpful at first, but the installation of the Obtenez Email might bring additional changes, which are neither helpful nor convenient. When Obtenez Email is installed, it will ask for permission to modify the settings of Google Chrome to set the website ‘Search.obtenezemail.com’ as the default new tab page. While this change is safe, it may have an adverse impact on your Web browsing experience since this page is not reputable, and it may provide search results, which are not as good as the ones offered by renowned search aggregators like Google, Yahoo, Bing and others.

While the Obtenez Email can be useful under certain conditions, it is up to every user to determine whether they would like to trade their favorite new tab page for the website promoted by this add-on. If you are not a fan of this change, then we advise you to take the required actions to uninstall this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Its removal can be accomplished manually, but the recommended thing to do is to run a suitable PC security scanner.
