Remove FreeTemplateFinder browser hijacker

FreeTemplateFinder is a browser hijacker. FreeTemplateFinder browser hijacker replaces the home page and search engine in Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Internet Browser.

FreeTemplateFinder does nothing good for your browser. FreeTemplateFinder is known because it collects data from your browser and acts as a useful search engine. In reality, the FreeTemplateFinder search engine does nothing right for your browser and has been classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by malware analysts.

After FreeTemplateFinder has infected the browser, the homepage and search engine are replaced by hp.myway.com. Browser searches are then redirected to Microsoft’s Bing search engine.

In the search results, the FreeTemplateFinder browser extension displays advertisements. These ads are for the sole purpose of misleading users by clicking on them. When the user clicks on them, money is earned by the developer of the FreeTemplateFinder browser hijacker.

If you find FreeTemplateFinder as a home page in your browser, I recommend you follow the instruction below and remove FreeTemplateFinder from your browser settings.
