Formfetcherpro Removal Guide

If you install Formfetcherpro from http://www.formfetcherpro.com/index.jhtml or the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/formfetcherpro/jcohbbeconnbknaeaodohnjcelemnlfc), it is only a question of time when you notice the altered browsers’ settings because this application does that. Users install it expecting that they could access governmental forms easier, but they get their web browsers’ settings changed instead. Of course, some users do not know that this program is capable of doing that, so it is a surprise for them that they see a new page every time they open their default browsers. Believe us; Formfetcherpro is the one responsible for setting a new page if you have noticed it for the first time after installing it. No matter you like what you see or not, you should delete this piece of software from your computer because it is considered a potentially unwanted program. Removing it is the only way to undo the changes applied to browsers as well. Let’s first talk about its drawbacks, and then we will tell you how to remove it.

Formfetcherpro does not look harmful, and we can confirm that it is not a harmful malicious application. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you that it is a fully trustworthy program either because it would be a lie. This Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. product has been classified as a potentially unwanted program, as you already know. There are several reasons why it has been placed next to other suspicious programs. First, it is not a very beneficial program. It only sets its page as a homepage and New Tab URL. Yes, it does not do anything else. The toolbar at the top of this page contains buttons that open travel, immigration, healthcare, and other forms on third-party pages. Also, this page contains a search box powered by search.myway.com, but we have some doubts about its reliability. Research has revealed that this search tool might return untrustworthy search results, so if we were you, we would not use it to perform web searches. In most cases, dubious search providers present users with the modified search results that can redirect users to dubious pages, so it is better not to use them at all.

If you let Formfetcherpro stay, you should know that this application records information about users and it will, undoubtedly, collect data about you too. First, it will automatically record such details as search queries, IP address, browser type and language, pages viewed, search results clicked, and more. Second, it will record the information provided by you voluntarily when you, for example, register for the service. This information might include such personal details as name, email address, and telephone number. You should not let a potentially unwanted program collect information about yourself. Sadly, it is impossible to change how this application works on users’ computers, but you can delete it to disable it. The final decision is yours.

The last reason why specialists call Formfetcherpro a potentially unwanted program is because it can arrive on users’ PCs without permission. According to our malware researchers, it might be spread in bundles with third-party applications and then enter computers unnoticed together with them. Also, it might be promoted by click-to-install pop-up advertisements. It is impossible not to notice its entrance because it changes browsers’ settings right away. You will need to remove this Mindspark product to be able to set a new page you like as your homepage and New Tab URL.

Internet Explorer users can undo the settings applied to their browsers easily because they only need to remove this piece of software through Control Panel (let our removal guide help you if it is still unclear what you need to do). Unfortunately, it will not be that easy to remove the page set from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. If you use any of these browsers, you will need to remove the Formfetcherpro extension. This should not be hard if you follow our instructions step by step. Of course, it does not mean that there is no other way to remove this potentially unwanted program. You can use an automatic malware remover to delete all kinds of suspicious programs from your PC.
