Onlinebuscador.com must have entered your computer when you installed something from a third-party website. Although it is possible to set this search engine as your default homepage individually, for that you would need to access the main onlinebuscador.com website yourself. And we know that this kind of course of events is highly unlikely. Thus, we can assume that this browser hijacker was installed on your computer together with a list of other unwanted applications, and therefore, you have more than just one program to remove. In fact, Onlinebuscador.com could be the least of your concern.

Usually, browser hijackers display modified search results when you run a web search via their domains. However, Onlinebuscador.com cannot even do that because its search engine does not function properly. If you were to enter a query into the program’s search box, you would only be told that no results can be found for the keyword at the moment. In fact, the Onlinebuscador.com search does not work at all, and even the image search comes with severe limitations. Thus, even if it looks like the domain could be the next best thing when it comes to online search that is really not the case.

Nevertheless, the browser hijacker could still employ tracking cookies to collect information on your browsing habits. This information, later on, could be shared with affiliated third parties, and eventually you could be exposed to malicious third-party content. Most of the time, browser hijacker promoted commercial content, and they expect you to click the ads that display that content. With every click, you help the people behind this infection earn money. Unfortunately, none of that ever reaches you. In fact, if there is anything reaching you in the first place, that would be trouble.

Since Onlinebuscador.com can easily promote third-party content, it is possible to say that the hijacker does not review what kind of links it advertises. Consequently, the hijacker becomes a perfect malware distribution medium, and cyber criminals would only jump at the opportunity. Before any of that happens, you need to remove Onlinebuscador.com from your system. It should be enough to reset your browser settings to make the fake search engine disappear. However, this cannot be said about all the other potentially dangerous programs.

For instance, you could have multiple adware and potentially unwanted freeware applications that are slowing down your system even now. How to know which ones to delete? Scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner and then terminate all the threats detected. If you need any further questions, please contact us by leaving a comment.
