Only Search is a browser hijacker, and truly a very annoying program that you and your browser do not need. Yet, this junkware is very often brought into computers together with many other free programs. As a result, this virus penetrates into the majority of browsers,such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and amends their home page on startup. Instead of the blank page or the particular website initially pre-defined by users, they now see only-search.com when they start their browser. Opening each new search tab also reveals only-search.com domain.

Only-Search browser hijacker promises you a lot of improvement in finding the necessary information, however, this is an absolutely poorly grounded statement. This is a pseudo search engine which can’t render any relevant search results at all. Its only mission is just to earn money to its owners and developers, but not help you getting the necessary information.

If your browser got hijacked by Only Search, then you will see a lot of annoying ads displayed at the home page of your hijacked browser. Plus, you will encounter many sponsored links that will be displayed together with the search results redirected through only-search.com. Clicking them is very dangerous, since you may be redirected through other third-party websites, which in their turn could infect your system even more.

Our strong recommendation is that you get rid of Only Search malware from your PC as soon as possible. Please follow this step-by-step guide that will help you fix this problem with your browser either automatically or manually. If you need any additional help on our part, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at any time of your convenience. Good luck!
