My Email Hub Extension

The My Email Hub Extension from Chrome.google[.]com/webstore/detail/my-email-hub/cnjgmaojpcgnacpopkgnoicmajhcnjhh is published by a marketing company called Polarity Technologies Ltd. The My Email Hub Extension is promoted as a new tab replacement that integrates email services and allows for quick access to your recent emails along with a selection of convenient links to popular websites. The My Email Hub Extension has versions for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer that have a few differences. The IE and Firefox versions of 'My Email Hub' change the start page and the new tab page to hxxp://search.hdownloadmyemailhub[.]com. The Chrome version of 'My Email Hub' changes only the new tab page to hxxp://search.hdownloadmyemailhub[.]com and requires the following privileges:

• Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
• Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
• Manage your apps, extensions and themes
