Remove MyOneSearch Homepage from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly MyOneSearch took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

MyOneSearch.net is a malevolent browser hijacker, supported by Client Connect Ltd. It’s published with one primary objective – use you to generate profits for the third parties behind it. Once it makes its way into your computer, the tool starts wreaking havoc and problems pile up almost instantaneously. At first, you don’t even realize there’s such a dangerous and damaging infection lurking on your computer. That’s because it sneaks in undetected by turning to every trick in the book of deceit. Soon after it settles on your PC, it reveals itself by replacing your default search engine and homepage with MyOneSearch.net. You find the switch sudden and surprising, and that’s because it is. One day it just springs on you seemingly out of the blue. You haven’t approved it, you weren’t informed of it, but there it is! And, you better get used to that feeling of surprise and dismay as you’ll experience it quite often. Why? Well, once the hijacker dupes you into giving your permission for its installation, it’s no longer bound to ask for your approval on anything else. That’s right. It’s free to do anything and everything it so desires, and you’ll just have to accept it. Does that sound like a pleasant experience? Do you think MyOneSearch is truly worth all of the troubles it will put you through? Think long and hard before you decide as both yours, and your computer’s well-being depend on your choice.

How did I get infected with?

MyOneSearch is profoundly skilled in the arts of deceit. The tool is so masterful in its trickery that, the fact that it’s required to ask for your permission prior to installing itself doesn’t slow it down one bit. It not only successfully gets you to approve it in but also manages to keep you oblivious that you did. Baffled as to how that’s even possible? Well, it’s quite straightforward. The tool turns to slyness and subtlety and prays on your naivety, distraction, and haste. More often than not, it pretends to be a fake system or program update. For example, while you may be entirely convinced you’re updating your Adobe Flash Player or Java, in actuality, you’re giving the green light to MyOneSearch. Other preferred means of invasion it usually resorts to include hitching a ride with freeware or spam email attachments, and also hiding behind corrupted links or sites. If you wish to prevent the hazardous infection from slithering into your system, just be extra cautious and don’t rush. After all, a little extra attention can go a long, long way.

Why is this dangerous?

MyOneSearch’s most hazardous characteristic is its ability to perform any and all changes it feels like. As was already stated, the tool can implement all kinds of reshuffles without bothering to ask for your permission first. It’s also not required to inform you about the changes. It can just surprise you. Imagine turning on your computer and finding it completely overrun with malware. Oh, yes. The hijacker can do that. It can install as many malevolent tools as it wishes to, and you’ll just have to deal with them. At the very least, MyOneSearch can choose to reshuffle your system settings in a manner that will prevent you from accessing your favorite websites. It’s not only an incredibly annoying tool that continuously redirects you to MyOneSearch.net. You won’t just experience the “joy” of being greeted by this site every time you try to browse the web. You’ll also be greeted by a waterfall of pop-up ads. That’s right. The hijacker displays adware’s most infuriating trait. Due to the ads incessant popping up, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will frequently crash. And, as if that’s not “fun” enough, the ads also pose a severe malware threat. They’re so unreliable that if you click on a single one just once, you’ll unwillingly agree to install more malevolent tools on your PC. But even the malware threat will seem like a non-issue, compared to the fact that MyOneSearch jeopardizes your privacy. Yes, the hijacker places your personal and financial details in harm’s way as it spies on you and catalogs every move you make online. When it deems it has collected enough data from you, it sends the gathered information to the unknown third parties that support it. Are you willing to provide strangers with access to your private life? Are you ready to take such a colossal, not to mention, unnecessary risk? Don’t gamble! Delete MyOneSearch immediately! It’s for the best.
