You were careless enough to allow a hijacker to enter your system, and you’re just now starting to reap the ‘rewards’ of your carelessness. The malicious tool reveals its existence by taking over, hijacking, your browser. It replaces your default search engine and homepage with Search.online-adnetwork.com, so every time you try to go online, you’ll be redirected. And, not just that.

How did I get infected with?
To get stuck continuously seeing Search.online-adnetwork.com, fist you have to allow the malware, that’s using it as a front, to enter your system. After all, the malicious tool cannot get into your цфcomputer unless it first receives your approval to do so. That means that, at one point, the tool asked whether you agree to its installation and, since you’re currently experiencing the ‘joy’ of its presence, you apparently said ‘Yes’. As foolish as that was, don’t be too hard on yourself. Hijackers are masters of deception. Through trickery and finesse, they dupe you into giving them the green light without you even realizing it by hiding in plain sight. So, even though, you’re looking right at them as you open and hold the door as they parade in, you don’t see them. Confusing? Well, let’s elaborate. Some of the most commonly used means of invasion, hijackers turn to include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted sites or links, or freeware. Also, they can pretend to be fake updates, like Java and Adobe Flash Player. Did you manage to spot the common denominator?
