Search.onesearch.org Removal Guide

We all surf the web, and we all want reliable search tools to provide us with the best services. Well, Search.onesearch.org is not a search provider you should expect to deliver you great search results without posing any risk. On the contrary, if you browse the web using this tool, you are likely to be exposed to misleading and possibly even malicious links. If that is not enough, this suspicious search tool employs its own tracking cookies to track your behavior and collect information about you. Why is this information collected? You can learn about this by reading our report. Our research team has thoroughly tested this suspicious search tool, and we want to share our findings. Most important, we can tell you how to delete Search.onesearch.org from your web browsers quickly and successfully. Even if you are in a hurry to clean your operating system, we suggest you spare a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this suspicious piece of software.

It should not surprise you that we classify Search.onesearch.org as a browser hijacker, especially if this search provider has taken over your browsers without your permission. Although it is most likely that you will be forced into accepting this search tool, it is possible that it could be installed silently as well. Of course, most users will agree to have their homepage and search provider settings modified because it will be installed along a browser extension. This extension might offer misleading benefits just to trick you into installing it, and the search provider comes as an integral part that you cannot reject. According to our research, this extension is often introduced to users via misleading pop-ups that you might come across when visiting unreliable websites. If the same pop-up keeps appearing regardless of what website you visit, it is possible that an unreliable ad-supported program is active. In any case, if Search.onesearch.org corrupts your browsers, it is possible that other infections are present as well, and you can check that using a trusted malware scanner.

Search.onesearch.org is identical to Search.easymoviesaccess.com, Search.youronlinegamesnow.com, and a ton of other browser hijackers that belong to the SaferBrowser family. Although this hijacker appears to be supported by OneSearch.org, the interface is identical to all the hijackers that have the SaferBrowser tag. At the moment, these hijackers are mainly spread in the United States of America, but it is difficult to predict how it could spread in the future. In general, these hijackers are identical, and so their prevalence should be homogeneous. Despite the links that they represent (in our case, we see links to gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, and similar sites), they are identical, and all of them redirect to the Yahoo search engine. Search.onesearch.org performs redirecting via the extsearch.maxwebsearch.com server, and, in the end, the results shown are modified. Although some links might be authentic and useful, you have to be careful about the sponsored links. In fact, this is the main reason we advise removing Search.onesearch.org. The cookies employed by this hijacker can collect data that will be used to select or create attractive ads, and this, unfortunately, could be used to scam you.

Although the links represented by Search.onesearch.org might seem harmless, you cannot be sure about their true nature because their developers are unknown. It is likely that the creator of this hijacker deliberately hides its partners to protect them, but the reason behind this is unclear. Obviously, the hijacker is highly questionable, and this is another reason to delete it from your browsers. We suggest that you do this as soon as possible. Chrome and Firefox users will get rid of this threat by eliminating the unwanted extensions, and Internet Explorer users will have to uninstall the application via the Control Panel. The instructions below include every single step you need to make to perform these tasks. If the hijacker runs along with other threats, you cannot forget about their removal either. Although manual removal might be tempting, it is best to utilize malware removal software that will remove Search.onesearch.org along with all other threats automatically.
