OnlineMusic Search has been categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). This infection is quite aggressive and has various tricks up its sleeve. In other words, keeping the parasite on board could eventually cause you irreversible harm. Never underestimate a cyber virus and its malicious potential. The more time OnlineMusic Search spends on your machine, the more dangerous it will become. What you have to do is tackle the parasite before it goes completely out of hand. OnlineMusic Search is supposed to be a handy tool that gives you access to music/lyrics online. As you could imagine, nothing is as it seems in the world of malware. If this program promises to enhance your online experience, that is just a lie hackers use to trick you into installing their virus. Furthermore, crooks are trying to convince you OnlineMusic Search is a harmless application which is worth having. In reality, though, the virus only causes you trouble. It modifies your default browser settings behind your back. As a result of that, OnlineMusic Search takes over all your trusty browsers. This program effectively injects them with some very specific pop-ups. Why are you bombarded with commercials, you may ask? Because by flooding your PC screen with sponsored ads, the parasite helps hackers make money. The very reason why such infections even get developed in the first place is to allow crooks to gain profit. You see, the OnlineMusic Search virus changes your browser settings. It adds a dubious extension to them and might install additional toolbars as well. Now that your browsers are modified, they start generating the dreaded commercials. Are you sick of these pop-ups already? Thanks to the infection, your PC screen is constantly covered with ads. That includes a huge, endless pile of sponsored web links in all shapes imaginable. Watch out for pop-ups, pop-unders, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads, etc. Being sponsored, these advertisements are all incredibly unreliable. Keep in mind hackers use the ads to gain questionable profit online. That means some of the pop-ups could be leading you to malicious websites. One single click on the wrong commercial is all it takes to download more infections. Having in mind you already have a PUP on board, do you really want to deal with another parasite? Make sure you remove the infection before things go from bad to terrible.

How did I get infected with OnlineMusic Search?

The most commonly used technique involves freeware bundles. Next time you download bundled programs, check out what you’re about to install in advance. Instead of rushing, take your time during the installation process. Our advice is to opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. That would guarantee you that no additional infections will slither themselves onto your computer. Preventing malware infiltration is a lot less troublesome than having to deal with infections afterwards. Hence, make the right call and keep an eye out for intruders. Deselect any potential “bonus” virus you may come across in the bundle. Remember that freeware/shareware bundling is the method all kinds of infections use. You could fall a victim to a Trojan horse or even ransomware. To prevent getting infected, be careful online. Trust us when we say, your caution will eventually pay off. Stay away from unverified program bundles and/or illegitimate pages. Only download software you trust so you don’t install cyber viruses. Last but not least, avoid clicking open the spam messages and emails you might receive. Those are often full of infections and could cause you damage.
